Somehow I doubt it. Makes me glad Debian can't be sold to anyone. (It's volunteers only.) :-) Mandrake -> Mandriva, Caldera -> oblivion, SuSE -> Novell -> Oracle ? GNU/Linux needs strong commercial partners like IBM, RedHat / Ubuntu and strong community partners like Debian / Fedora. Maybe Oracle will join that, maybe not. In some ways, I'd prefer that Oracle do something similar to Canonical. My worry is for SuSE users who may fear their distro becoming a database server release and lagging behind with non-Oracle stuff like KDE or Gnome. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
