Wtf?! Does everyone around here have the attention span of a gerbil? Ohmygod, (insert favorite Linux company name) is not making gazillions of $$$, so IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!
To the folks at Linuxcare, I wish you the best, hope all goes well.
To/.ers, expect successes and failures for Linux companies. Name me a company that doesn't go through its problems. This industry is no different.
IBM used to be The Enemy. Today they are more friend than foe. In the early 80s, IBM had something like 400,000 people working for them. Their staffing at one point dropped to half of that. Point is, change will happen.
Final point to consider is that this is only the beginning of the commercial side of the Linux revolution. There will be more of the proverbial "bumps in the road". Yet, if you look where things are today, overall, things look pretty darned good. Imho.
This is a computer network. We'll use whatever language works.
English dominates in many areas today, partly from economics, partly from its richness in ideas. Show me a monument to another language that can rival the OED and I'll consider it.
