Bart Decrem on the Linux Business

Posted by michael on from the big-picture dept.

Anonymous Hero writes "Co-founder of Eazel and now vice president of Hancom Linux, Bart Decram gives his views on a whole lot of things related to desktop Linux in an interview at Linux and Main. He talks abour what went wrong with Eazel, why everyone should work together to build Microsoft Office filters, how anti-U.S. sentiment can be used to promote Linux throughout the world, and how he thinks KDE is 'butt-ugly.' Long read, but worth it."

    Hmm, I seem to remember a site with a bunch of essays like that. It's something like Slashdot or something similar. :) :)

    Linux buisness? Business of something free? Wow. I'm starting a sunlight buisness.

    Good plan. Businesses that use sunlight (farming, tourism, sports, photography, etc.) are huge.

    LaM: And with StarOffice it's fairly easy to change the underlying operating system.
    Decrem: That's the beauty of it.

    Not true! The beauty of StarOffice is in the load time -- it gives me a moment to reflect...clean under my keybord...wash the car...take the kids to soccer practice...eat dinner...call my mom...watch Farscape...sleep. Then I wake up refreshed with no chores or distractions and StarOffice is ready to go!
