My LUG has just had a presentation from a guy from Sun Microsystems. I've never been at all enthused about Sun's plans in the Linux market, but he was quite convincing. One thing he did talk about was that Sun have dropped their own "Sun Linux", and are going to support 2 of the main Linux distro creators. He couldn't mention any names because the papers aren't being signed for a few more days, but he described a large US Linux vendor and a large European Linux vendor. Hmmm. Who could they be? -- "...our desktop is falling behind stability-wise and feature wise to KDE ...when I went to Mexico in December to the facility where we launched gnome, they had all switched to KDE3." - Miguel de Icaza, March 2003
