SCO Threatens Red Hat and SuSE

Posted by timothy on from the court-battles-are-fun dept.

Guy Smith writes "CRN reports that SCO will target SuSE and Red Hat with lawsuits after they are finished with IBM (providing that IBM allows them live). To quote Sco, "There will be a day of reckoning for Red Hat and SuSE when this is done." They seem bent on destroying the Open Source community and they deserve to hear the community's opinion on the matter."

  1. SCO can't threaten the BSD Babe though! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    How can BSD be dying when it has a mascot like this?! Linux needs to get its act together if it's going to compete with the kind of hot chicks and gorgeous babes that BSD has to offer!

    You just can't take Linux seriously when its fronted by losers like these. You Linux groupies need to find some sexy girls like her! I mean just look at this girl! Doesn't she make you hard? I know this little hottie floats my boat! This guy looks like he is about to cream his pants standing next to such a fox. As you can see, no man can resist this sexy little cock teaser. Even this old bearded Unix guru is apparently unable to take his eyes off her!

    Join the campaign for more cute open source babes today!

  4. Jacques Chirac interview re BSD by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Jacques Chirac, like most politicians, is far uglier in person than he is in photographs. For one thing, there's the matter of his bluntly-cut toupee, which tilts noticeably from side to side as he shifts in his chair. For another, there are Chirac's teeth, which are so badly stained they seem to be carved from a pile of dogshit. Never mind his unpleasant habit of hacking up massive gobs of phlegm, which he then expectorates into the Persian carpet at his visitor's feet. It is impossible to ignore when he picks a large bloody booger out of his left nostril and places it in his mouth, chewing contently on the noxious nugget of nose-dirt.

  7. SCO must burn by sciwhiz007 · · Score: 0, Troll

    That's it. SCO is now at the top of my hitlist. Come on people. They are waging war on the open-source community itself. It's clear that they don't care if Linux lives on or dies. They clearly said, "Linux comes from Unix and we own the Unix operating system". Its evident that they don't care about Linux, and think that since it comes from UNIX, they don't care if it lives or dies as long as they get their precious royalties. This is war! We can't let this go!

    Well, in about 2 years, Novell will be worth about $2.50 (not that Novell was worth anything more than that before) so it shouldn't take much...

    If you don't believe me, then just wait to see how many Novell fanatics crawl out of the woodwork. Novell never had any products, they had to rely on brainwashing IT "professionals". (On the other hand, maybe this posting is too late for any fanatics to see it...)

    You people are nuckin futz. The article is about SCO suing IBM and the first freakin' comments all contain some reference to Microsoft. I love Slashdot, really, but this ongoing obsession with the evils of a rather mundanely evil corporation is in itself dogmatic and, truthfully, weird. You people all need to find girlfriends, or get hobbies or do something else besides worry about the nefarious doings of a software corporation. And this is coming from someone that uses FreeBSD on the desktop at home. Let the alternatives speak for themselves. If BSD or Linux are better then great, use them, but don't turn every damned discussion about software into an excuse to worry about WHAT MICROSOFT MIGHT DO NEXT. Jeez, people.
