It's every man for himself time, and there's only one lifeboat." Nahhh -- CEO's have to put a positive spin on events -- it's in their job descriptions. Hell, Ken Lay never let on that Enron was in Really Deep Stuff, did he? Of course not. But then tonight I found this very encouraging story today at the Mandrake home page: http://www.mandrakesoft.com/company/press/briefs?n=/mandrakesoft/news/2426 Synopsis: HP will be selling one of their _desktop_ lines with an option of XP Pro, XP Home, or (drum roll, please) MANDRAKE 9.1! We ain't talking servers here, folks, we're talking desktops! And we ain't talking Red Hat, Suse or Lindows, we're talking Mandrake! Wow! HP not only thinks that Mandrake can survive, but that Mandrake is the best solution to putting Linux on desktops. Looks good to me. (There's also a current thread on Slashdot about this. It's the usual /. stuff.) -- cmg (who will be renewing his Club membership)
