United Linux Dead

DesScorp writes "ZDnet has a story about the impending demise of United Linux, with former general manager Paula Hunter stating that 'the legal entity still exists but I turned the lights out'. While a couple of reasons were given for UL's demise, most of the blame was firmly laid on the shoulders of SCO. As a member of group, their lawsuits killed off any real product development. SCO apparently refused to resign from UL, and Hunter said that 'As long as they remained a member, it remained impossible for us to begin new projects'. Which brings up the question, couldn't the other group members have kicked them out?"

Last time I checked 4 companies are more than 0 companies. Did I miss some press releases about companies supporting userlinux?

United BSD?

How many linux distro's do we need anyways? I mean, are we gaining anything when 3 linux distro makers join together to make another one while still working on their own?

They should all be joining together in a RIP ROARING CAGE MATCH and battle it out until one penguin is left standing, holding his bill, ready to smackdown anyone who tries to stand up. Rough em up a little, put some foot up their ass... prove penguins can fly.

And after debians done kicking the other distro's asses, we shall unite behind our new leader and go stomp the shit out of that buttplugger Daryl.

YEAH!
