Novell, RedHat and Sun Commit to a Linux Desktop

Posted by timothy on from the fuse-has-been-lit dept.

DeckerEgo writes "InfoWorld reports on the Linux desktop and how Novell, Sun and RedHat (wha?) are working on making 2004 the year corporations start adopting open desktops. But which desktop? Most interesting to note is how Novell is planning to beef up the number of Ximian, Gnome, Mozilla and OpenOffice developers after its SuSE aquisition is complete. Does this mean that SuSE will stop being one of the best KDE distros out there and follow the way of the Gnome?"

      No he is not.

      In fact this person has no association with the GNAA whatsoever.

      OK, Penisbird, to whom are you referring when you say "us"? How many people are we talking about? You and your "people" usually give cookie-cutter posts, so it's nice to see you giving replies that actually pass the Turing test. I will commend you on that.

      But how can we be sure that it's really you, Penisbird? Couldn't you just be the fucktard poser? Give us some proof that it's you.

      I don't give a shit if you belive me or not. Any damned nigger who can read and compare past posts can see that its not me who posted that GNAA post (why would I? I would rather take credit by posting my name like I usually do).

      However, you may proceed as you wish because it is not me and your actions will not affect me in any way whatsoever.

    Criticizing the President in a time of war is not only unconstitutional, illegal, and immoral, it is aiding and abetting the enemy. Anyone doing so, should be arrested, tried, conviected, and hung until dead.
