Ubuntu 8.04 Is Ready to Take On Windows

[Anna EdwARds]

Yeah. Like our favorite neTwork manager and more. If you want to fight msc get a job there, put all sorts of source code on a blue ray disk as possible bring it home and release parts as open source software. Thats what will do the most damage. Make sure to choose gpl as license. That should be interesting.

Michael,

What kind of cockamamie nonsense is that?  Just about everything Red Hat has ever released either is already GPL or is slated to be GPL.  Their commitment to free software has been significant ever since Bob Young founded the company.  The GNOME that you're likely using has significant Red Hat contributions.  This kind of distro-war FUD you're spouting out here only helps Microsoft.  Cut it out.

CentOS, etc. would never be able to exist if Red Hat's software were not free, and both they and Red Hat have made that very clear.  Several times.

Yes, I use CentOS, in its K12LTSP incarnation.  At work, it's nearly all some version of Ubuntu or Debian.  My thick client runs Slackware, and
my firewall runs OpenBSD.  They're *all* good.
