Sun Drops Linux Distro

Posted by michael on from the hot-potato dept.

The Wireless Guy writes "eWeek is reporting that Sun has decided to stop offering a Linux distribution. From the story: "Yes, this is a change in strategy. Our Sun Linux distribution is essentially Red Hat Linux with a few minor tweaks," John Loiacono, vice president of Sun's operating platforms group"... so, is this good news for Red Hat?" They were rethinking it, and I guess they've had a good long thunk.

    As I pointed out earlier, Sun has very little commitment to Linux/Open Source.

    The folks at Gnome need to watch their backs. Sun only looks out for itself.
