Ask Ransom Love about UnitedLinux

Posted by Roblimo on from the four-(click)-four-distributions-in-one dept.

There has been lots of press and discussion, both positive and negative, about the new UnitedLinux combine formed by Caldera, SuSE, Conectiva, and TurboLinux. Caldera CEO Ransom Love ought to know more about UnitedLinux's goals and possibilities than just about anyone else in the world. This is your chance to ask him what's up with all of this. One question per post, please. We'll run Love's answers to 10 of the highest moderated questions as soon as he gets them back to us.

    this your asshole?

    C'mon, people, mod this up! It's an important question. After all, it's by far the most-viewed asshole on the internet. The guy's famous! We need to find out who he is, so we can congratulate him and shake his hand (after he's washed them, of course).

  2. RMS's tirades good for Open Source? by toupsie · · Score: 0, Troll

    Mr. Love, do you think that RMS's airing of perceived dirty laundry in the Open Source movement publicly instead of resolving issues in private a positive for the cause? Or do you think that the Corporate Suits see this as another reason to stick with Microsoft because the Open Source movement behaves childishly when dealing with internal conflicts.

    Ransom Love: Why are you such a cock? Is it something that goes along with the name? Why is it you steal steal steal from the Linux community but never give anything back?

    When is Caldera going to go tits up so I don't have to see your piece of shit distribution anymore? (Not that anybody _I_ know uses it, but I digress).

    Why weren't you personally making deals in the WTC buildings on the morning of September 11, 2001? It would have been so much more interesting for the rest of us.

    Thank you for your time and attention to these grave matters.

    Are you aware that you have such a fucking stupid name, and have you ever thought of changing it?

    Ransom! That's not a name, it's a demand!

    Mr Love, when exactly did you make the transition from porn to linux, and what prompted this change? Did you realize that you very well may never have sex again in this business?
