Re: [aclug-L] Linux on store shelves

I dislike Caldera, too... but they're not in nearly the possition that RH
is to become monopolistic, so they aren't as much a threat to Linux.

I suppose you could say I'm anti-"The commercialization of Linux".  If
that means Red Hat, I'm anti-Red Hat.  If that means Caldera, it means I'm
anti-Caldera.
