the momentus events of the week have prompted me to post to this list...for the first time in ages...in part to get some other general points... 1. does the Novell takeover spell the end of KDE: we'll they recently acquired Ximian so i guess its possible 2. Red Hat does still do Linux (despite news reports and our own RHN emails this week). Errata and EOL for RH7.3/8.0 etc is imminent but there solutions in RHEL and more interestingly with.... 3. Fedora: which given the potential for multiple channels and repositories (incl apt-get, yum, as well as RHN) makes it versatile. Its still going to be the development/testing ground for Red Hat 4. lets hope that Suse exist in an independant / technically motivated way and that they are not made a SCO clone. long live Linux : open source and developments for education Malcolm On Wed, 5 Nov 2003, Phil Thane wrote:
You might be right, in which case there's about a dozen other distros to choose from. Just pray we don't get an SCO Linux, a Novell Linux etc, etc, then we'd be back where Unix was......

I'm most depressed. Now I suppose SUSE is going to be prey to the machinations of the corrupt US legal system vis a vis patents and copyright :-( not to mention the global empire ambitions of the republinazi corporate right.
