Anyone here know anything about this Linux thing?

Do any of you folks here know a little about Linux? If so you may want to respond to this guy who was responding to this story.

Of course, that is if there is anyone here that knows anything about Linux…

it must be really hard boycotting a company whose hand is all over linux. wonder what distro they use rotfl!

Microsoft paying Novell protection money? Should that not be the other way around?

Just be a good company and quetly promote Linux… but if you take away our market share… we’ll feed you to the fishes! Capcice?

Yes, Godfather Microsoft… we capice.

Novell says it generated $120 million for the year from Linux Platform Products. That’s not much money within the overall IT industry

Not much? Can I have it please?

I was just wondering if any of you folks would take exception to the guy that responded’s premis that you don’t know much about Linux…

Leenucks, gee is that what I’ve been using? I thought all along it was OpenSUSE. ;);):wink:

Oh wait, der, does this mean that Ubuntu is also using this Leenucks thing? :open_mouth:

I think he’s best ignored unless he’s anyone whose opinion remotely matters. Here’s the link to the original story being commented on:

Novell’s financial results: Suse Linux and three other facts

Which concludes (emphasis in italics added):

The Bottom Line: The business that matters most to Novell’s future–SUSE Linux–continues to grow. And the Microsoft relationship, however controversial in the open source community, has restored Novell’s credibility with quite a few CIOs, The VAR Guy believes. In recent months, Novell has successfully articulated its strong relationships with SAP and Microsoft. But the company needs to build and evangelize similarly strong relationships with open source application leaders like MySQL, SugarCRM, and so on. Sure, Novell works with a range of open source ISVs. But that work needs to accelerate.

Dang. I was hoping someone would want to set the record straight and I wanted to watch. :slight_smile: Ohwell. :peace:

Are you a fan of David Attenborough’s docus, perhaps? :wink:

I’d write back to him, but that’d just be feeding a troll…

Don’t know anything about the Linux business, but, making $120 million for the year from Linux Platform Products in this economy makes you guys shooting stars;)
