Upheavals In UnitedLinux

An anonymous reader writes "I found this story on UnixReview.com - vnunet has some commentary about UnitedLinux and it sounds like it's struggling." I dunno - I plan on still giving them the benefit of the doubt, and see what comes out. Heck, I might even try installing a machine with the "united distro" - but it's still an interesting pickle some of the primary members are in.

Mod -50(Kicking a Dead Horse)

In a related /. story, the ACs who posted those lame "Stephen King Is Dead" stories were found dead in their "Cult of the Anonymous Coward" church in Dumbass, Iowa. Apparently, they had posted the phoney news of the author's demise so often that they themselves began to believe it, and resigned themselves to commit mass suicide. Sources close to the Dumbass Police Department (ain't it the TRUTH?) were quoted as saying "Looks like they drank the blue Kool-Aid. Poor bastards..."

Hey, they even can call that distro as SCO Linux! It might be a viable move, IMHO.
They can integrate the stuff from SCO to it, because they have rights to SCO.
SCO was a reputable trademark years ago...

Not the UnitedLinux part - but the proper use of "it's" not once but TWICE in an article summary is shocking indeed.

linux is dying by Anonymous Coward · 2002-09-05 20:08 · Score: -1, Offtopic

This is news? We've seen all along that linux is dying. It was a hoax that linux vm was stable and that linux networking was standard and that linux fs was reliable. Now the truth comes out that the linux vm is unstable under load and has been all along. The fs so call experts finally admit that ext2fs corrupts the fs on crashes and hence the need for ext3fs. And networking, don't even get me started. I know a bunch of companies that started using linux and had to switch to FreeBSD because linux networking was a joke.
