Dell Does Linux

[Linonut]

After takin' a swig o' grog, arachnid belched out this bit o' wisdom:

I'm not under any illusions about our allies. Big Businesses got that way
by being ruthless. IBM isn't not doing this out of the goodness of their
hearts, they have their own plans for Linux. But, I'm hopeful we can have
it both ways - they'll defend us against Microsoft's machinations and take
Linux in the direction that benefits their own bottom line, but we'll
still be able to have our own distro's, too.

It doesn't matter what any company does. We'll always have GNU/Linux, or
something like it, as long as the Internet is open enough.

The GNU and Linux systems were created by users for users. Companies
have appropriated them, and they can war all they want over patents and
such ownership crap. But GNU/Linux doesn't need the companies in order
to serve its users.

With source code, comes assurance.

So 50% of the US electorate are idiots? I'

Yews. That also includes the local yokel who was defending a US
National Guard pilot who shot up a UK armoured convoy in Iraq. He said
that the US don't need the British and that we can't drive, shoot and
talk at the same time. The irony was obviously missed seeing as it was
about a friendly fire incident where a US pilot fired on allied
vehicles even after he'd seen the identification plate.

Sad, isn't it?


Bush should be tried for crimes against humanity after being impeached
and thrown out of office.

Don't you feel better after you got that tirade off your chest?
Now that we know your extreme political views, can we get
back to Vista?

Dell Does Linux. Read Subject. Earth to Gary.

The only relevancy for Vista would be "instead of" or, if you have a
Ninja machine, "along with".
