UnitedLinux and Debian

2002-10-07 Thread Marcelo Chiapparini

Hello!

I am concerned about the future of UnitedLinux (UL). The idea of 
Conectiva,
SuSe, Caldera and TurboLinux is to define new standards trough UL. How 
this will affect the rest of the Linux world, the non commercial one? 
Will the distributions which not adopt the UL standards become more and 
more unpopular? How UL will affect the impact of Debian in the 
community?

TIA!

Marcelo

United Linux does not make standards for the Linux community, the Free 
Standards Group does via things like the LSB.  United Linux is simply (yes, 
oversimplification to follow) about a group of companies working together to 
reduce cost and increase profits.  If this affects us it is because they may 
start to erode Red Hat's dominance.
