dave writes "Novell announced that it has finalized a $50 million investment from IBM, and that IBM can now begin shipping SUSE Linux on all IBM server platforms. Historically, IBM has been a 'Red Hat shop,' and one has to wonder if this is a harbinger of things to come."

... is anyone else on the West Coast watching the sun come up and listening to Jimmy Cliff singing "I Can See Clearly Now", while pondering a great Linux future? I know I am.
Sign me up for a new IBM ThinkPad running SUSE Linux and Ximian Desktop 2!

It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: Red Hat is dying. Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Red Hat community when recently IDC confirmed that Red Hat accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that Red Hat has lost more market share, news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Red Hat is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Red Hat's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Red Hat faces a bleak future.
In fact there won't be any future at all for RH because Red Hat is dying. Things are looking very bad for Red Hat. As many of us are already aware,
RH continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
No, No, NO!

I wonder what you do for a living. Do you write bad software and then call people idiots when they can't figure it out?
As for your girlfriend -- but no, given your expressed attitude towards people in general and women in particular, it makes more sense for you to handle sexual issues single-handedly. Forgive the pun!
Is it just me, or would The Fedora Affair be a great title for a cold war spy novel?

I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong.
This is slashdot -- you'll be corrected even if you are correct.
