Hello all, I am a consultant specializing in PERL engineering in the UNIX admin arena, but #1 on my wish list is to be my own boss ( just like everybody else ). So I formed a sub-S corporation* and I am going to devote about 300f my efforts to fielding a Linux thin client. Enter the pc-on-a-chip dev box that I should be receiving in about a week. I will then start assembling the apropriate suse install for my little product. My real target will be to support emerging market nations especially in remote applications with the aim of bringing high content products to first world nations and supplying them with software aimed at creating more communications and independant management. I also have involvment with Caldera and hope to use their multi-tier organization on the server side, with a more traditional focus on business software. While I 100upport GPL and the Artistic License, many concerns using the open source OS's have been more than generous to our clique of ~10,000,000. As a VAR, I am going to get some really good hardware offers. I would like to pass along the great deals I get to any geeks hoping to advance the lowly "set top box." It occured to me the other night that I will have to set up a distribution and service system... details details Thanks in advance, John van V. aka Pres/CEO CXN, Inc. ( and chief bottle washer ) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at <A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com"><A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com</A">http://www.hotmail.com</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
