It's funny, how all of these corporate Linux companies thought they could make it. They each come out with a half-assed business plan, and go belly up in months.
Why don't we make a distinction, on Slashdot. We will refer to EVERY commercial linux company / distro as "Linux-dot-com" and every non-commercial distro or organization will simply be "Linux" or "Linux oriented."
This makes a lot more sense. With the rate at which all of these "revolutionary" Linux capitalists are going under, no one is going to want to invest in linux, and in turn, linux will not do well on the market place.
Linux [corporations] resembles dot-coms in every way, shape, and form. They have no plan, they pick up a copy of linux from kernel.org, get a post on slashdot about an IPO (which needs to stop, btw) and two weeks later, are on Yahoo about a Chapter 11. Ohh, this really looks great for Linux / Unix as a whole.
Our voice really got out during the Mitnick fiasco. Ooh, the media really pointed it out. Three wired articles, a few tidbits from ZDnet and 2600 magazine printing some crap about it in every issue. CNN really took it up; great human rights project for Jessie Jackson.
No, really.. i don't care. If I had 1 billion dollars, I'd raise a private army and kill every lobbyist in the nation.
Fuck it, I hate politics. The best reaction to control is a sharp knife. Call that ignorance, I don't care. I'd like to put a hole in the back of every person's head who pushes shit like DeCSS [being banned], copy protection, and other horseshit litigation.

Does anyone else feel like driving a truck bomb right into the corporate office of these people?

Sieg Heil!
