"The corporate world is not quite ready to roll out a community based distro"
I thought the enemy of my enemy was my friend or some such. Works GREAT for U.S. foreign policy!;-)
Why don't IBM, HP, SUN et al just throw together a good entry-level common distro and give it away just to GUT Microsoft ? Are they afraid the DOJ will sue them for collusion?!!

And technically, it isn't terrorism when the government does it. Right?
"If these commercials were to show the truth, they would show a car full of stoners laughing as they wallk out of Krispy Kreme with 10 boxes of donuts... Harmless? =D"

I had an Atari 800xl with 256k of memory! (gotta love that bank-switching hack OOOOOHHHHHHH YEEEEEEAH!)
