Is There Room for Xandros in the Server Market?
Robert writes to tell us CBROnline is reporting that almost two years after discussing the possibility, Xandros has finally named a date for their first Linux server product. From the article: "While there are plenty of Linux server distributions on the market, the market is undoubtedly dominated by Red Hat, Novell's SUSE Linux a distant second. In order to find a gap in the market with Xandros Server, due May 1, the company will have to differentiate it from the pack."

Sure you can live with quarterly income of $13m, but what kind of a life would that be
I'd better say we need something new. Something that can run linux executables for backward compatibility but that is much cleaner and much more network-i/o minded than linux is right now. And it's own applications ofcourse should kick the %^*&$&# out of ms and linux counterparts.
Perhaps something that is designed for our shiny x86-64 boxes and not just something that was ported to it from an old flaky i386 ?
Sure a kernel rewrite from zero could do it, but would that even be what we want&need ?
If one thing is good for everything, it's really good for nothing. Right now linux reminds me of the hiunday getz, not a car, not a bicycle, driving conditions like the second, price like the first, ultimately good for neither.
But since right now there's nothing better available for a developer, linux is what i use.
I'd tell you the chances of this story being a dupe, but you wouldn't like it.
yes.. definitely.. what is there now? redhat and suse ?
the chameleon and hat dont take much space. if u want to
optimize, we can put the chameleon inside the hat. There is
lotttttts of space for XANDROS.
Rock On.
