You can boot Linux, OS/2, Windows, DOS, Athena, BeOS from Linux in my experience. I use Grub currently to do all this. You can also use the NT/Win2k loader to boot any of the above (except maybe OS/2, never tried OS/2 from the NT loader).
This is totally typical of a Slashdot article. Most of the punks miss the point thus showing off their lack of research and understanding. I realize this will most likely be moderated down, but oh well, Caldera LINUX supporters will never win on any Andover site. Truth.
Anyway, the thing to understand here is that while the UnixWare OS is closed and does have some old software on it, the one thing is does have is a good enterprise level kernel. Now some of you mentioned lxrun and emulation. Not the case here. The LKP product is Linux. Let me say that again, it is Linux. It is Linux leveraging the enterprise power of the UnixWare kernel on the back end. Some of you also mention that the Linux kernel supports so many processors and so much memory. As far as the UnixWare kernel is concerned, I don't need to say anything. As for Windows 2000, come on, can we talk about stability here? I mean really.
Anyway, while Caldera is taking steps to help the Linux industry, what is redhat doing? Making their _linux_ proprietary and trying to take over kernel development, and... Think about it. Unix kicks Linux's ass in some areas.. Linux in general kicks ass so this will only help things kick more ass.
Oh and one more thing, it is Linux. Get your facts straight before you go off on something you don't understand and makes you sound like an idiot.
