SuSE to band together with Caldera, Turbolinux, and Conectiva?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A story at: http://www.linuxgram.com/article.pl?sid=02/05/28/2053225§ion=newsflash claims that SuSE will be one of four linux distros to announce on Thursday that they are joining together behind a "united Linux". A commercial distro obviously left out of this pact is Red Hat, presumably because they are/would be the primary competition. I'll reserve judgment on this until the announcement Thursday, but if the aim of this announcement is to formalize some sort of distro war with Red Hat, then I'll be looking hard at switching to Debian.

I'm not so sure this is a bad thing. One of the biggest problems facing Linux now is the lack of standards. This may help to set some standards. On Wednesday 29 May 2002 02:11, Brian W. Carver wrote:
