As such, one way I got around the problem was to downgrade to ComboUpdate 10.4.10 and install the rEFIt bootloader. It makes your Mac totally legit and it even allows you to, easily, triple boot you box with Mac, Winblows and Linux side by side. See rEFIT at http://refit.sourceforge.net/ for details.
I have been working in the industry for 15 years and I would say; it is far from dead. The shrink-warp software at the Enterprise-Level is nowhere where it should be. There is plenty of job security for everyone!;-)
IMHO, nobody has fixed the impedance problem of relational databases and, IMHO, until someone does, there will be a lot more job security for everyone. As a matter of fact, companies hire any and everybody to do IT work. CS credentials are not necessary. IMHO, that is why kids do not bother doing CS degrees anymore. Why bother? You can get a job anyways without investing into Higher Education.
I have tried to install OpenLinux 2.2 on my box and I simply quit trying after 3 hours. I have been running Red Hat 5.0/5.1/5.2 and the RH installer always worked without an itch. Here are the problems I encountered: 1) If you try to install on an hard disk that already has ext2 partitions; you are screwed. You will have to use Partition Magic and reallocate all the space to one big primary partition. 2) The Lizard installer detected my vanilla ATAPI Toshiba CD-ROM but when it was time to install the software, I got some message that it didn't find any media to install from. 3) I tried the text-based installer. No Disk Druid to setup the partitions and when I got to configure the mouse, the installer could simply not deal with my Logitech Mouseman. Conclusion, it seems that the folks at Caldera have tested their installer from the perspective of new users that want to install Linux on a drive that shares space with Windows. It seems to work for that configuration. For people that already have some distro of Linux running, I would suggest to stay away from this product. It simply not suitable. Yethi.

In the short-term, it will validate the platform for the suits. In the long-term, it may be bad. As we all know, each time Microsoft touches something that they didn't come up with in the first place, they always turn it into crap. You could almost wonder if they are not doing it on purpose?
I would personally prefer having them staying away altogether.

Do not do to other developers what you did not like to be done to you by your former bosses.
