Ransom Love on United Linux, SCO Unix

I suspected that Caldera bought SCO just to kill SCO Unix, even though they denied it at the time. Now, the first Unix I ever knew is about to be no more. "
this is sad indeed. i guess some people cant appreciate other peoples years of hard work ....
To quote erat:
You're reading drama into a situation that has none. Promote your favorite distros as much as you want, but don't do so at the unnecessary expense of others, especially when those others are putting forth an honest effort to help Linux.
Don't give the impression that UnitedLinux is a bad thing. All Linux companies are Open Source (except for Lindows, which is either going to 1. die suddenly of a court case or 2. will move to BSD and thereby shoot themselves in the foot), therefore, when anyone, including UnitedLinux, creates a Standard, it is always a good thing. Nothing is stopping anyone else from adopting this standard. More standards = easier to use software (unless of course, the standards are no good. but we will assume for now that they are good.)
