Bury the competition. Change world perception. Join the Club. And, most importantly, engage in sabotage, conspiracy, and destruction/obstructionist tactics. Say Bye-Bye to RedHat! Now, expand that to forcing the hand of all linux users to choose "pure" Open Source, or M$ tainted crap. Lindows has competition. You name it, the list goes on forever. The fun begins. Tom

Redhat still is Open Source and that won't change, even if Microsoft bought it. And to be serious, how do you know that whoever buys Redhat, or Suse for that matter, isn't owned by some holding company controlled by Gates( or whoever). You can't trace things to who really "controls" a company, unless you really dig deep. -- $|=1;while(1){print pack("h*",'75861647f302d4560275f6272797f3');sleep(1); for(1..16){for(8,32,8,7){print chr($_);}select(undef,undef,undef,.05);}}

Hi, Let be serious. How you can buy something that doesn't belong to anybody what is already in the public domain? Red Hat didn't invent Linux nor they own it? What do they have to sell if everything is Open Source? They could sell of course the customer network of RH users, but it would fade away in a matter of days after a such deal. There is nothing to worry about RH. Alex

Two similar emails in the same day: remember: whatever sits in between http:// and @ is not relevant, unless the site is setup for username and password. In your case the real site is 212.254.206.213, and the www.microsoft.com&blabla is just a childish way of obscuring the real site.
