There isn't very much about Mark Shuttleworth and his achievements that says "little guy" to me.
Once you partner with Microsoft corporation, you are not the poor struggling little guy trying to make that difference anymore.
I think Novell paid USD211million for SUSE - not much "little guy" there either.
Okay. Well you are absolutely right. I think what I really meant was when I say "little guy" is the guy who does not have a 90% monopoly grasp on the OS, browser and application market. -- jjgitties, "*We* need to convince OpenSUSE to fork, or let 'em die.
