Turbolinux Not Dead Yet

Abdul Nabi writes "I found this article on Linux Today which is a response from Turbolinux to the recent rumors of a shutdown. The responds contends that they are restructuring rather than shutting down." Ya know, I can't think of a single person that I know that runs Turbolinux. Maybe that has something to do with their problems.

"All three of them we still have."

However, if I remember correctly, aren't they pretty large in Asia, specifically China?

All the Mandrake User hope strongly that all the Linux companies, like Turbo Linux, will desappeare.
Thanks to that, Mandrake , the Best distro that ever, will become the strongest company in the Linux Market.

We hope that SuSE, the fucking German distro, Redhat, the distro made by stupid americans, and other will close down.

In a near future, Mandrake will hold the monopoly and will kick the ass of Microsoft and every stupid american softwares !

VOUS NE VOULEZ PAS DE NOS ROQUEFORT ET NOTRE VIN, MANDRAKE VA VOUS BOTTER LE CUL ET VA VOUS MONTRER CE QU'EST LA QUALITE FRANÇAISE : VIVE MANDRAKe, VIVE LA FRANCE !

Are you mad?

Surely you're not suggesting that the hordes of Free Software/Open Source users actually PAY for any of the software that they use. Don't you remember? "INFORMATION WANTS TO BE FREE!". Nevermind that RENT WANTS TO BE PAID or FOOD WANTS TO BE BOUGHT, but when it comes to software all the rules in the universe are reversed and those who write software for a living are not supposed to actually be able to make a living. Those lucky few programmers are supposed to live on forestland communes where they forage for fruits and berries while their latest kernel compiles with the -hunger flag.

Frankly you disgust me by implying that we should enable certain free software developers to live in dignity via getting paid for what they most likely spent 4 years in college learning what to do. Only EVIL people such as Doctors, Entertainers, Lawyers, OTHER kidns of Engineers and such go to college to get ew... PAYING jobs and professions. The most honorable Computer Science graduates however nobly sacrifice their highly marketable skills for the greater good. To suggest that a CS grad should be able to afford moving himself or his family out of his mother's basement is an affront to the FSF, GNU, Slashdot and the entire Free Software Community! SHAME ON YOU SIR!
