IMHO it would be terrible news. Oracle is not really a business that understands OpenSource (but so wasn't Novell). Though, my biggest gripe with it would be: - - Oracle is way too large as a business, the Linux distribution would be a very minor spot in it - - the reputation of Oracle in the Linux and FOSS world.. c'mon... it's already not always easy with Novell... but do you see yourself at an OSS event to promote "Oracle Linux" ? Anyway, there's not much influence we can take on such topics ;-) So we'll just have to see what happens and either move on elsewhere or live with it. Who knows, maybe it would be a positive move for us, as SUSE Linux users and as a community around it (I doubt it, but it's quite likely that I'm wrong). And it's just rumors, rumors, rumors. Slashdot isn't a reliable source by any means, but well... it's not that it's unlikely, Oracle has been on the shopping spree for some time now and they're not going to stop any time soon. Wait and see, but don't hold your breath for it ;) cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEQ8UHr3NMWliFcXcRAggKAJ4t1xlmVJ9pJwV4UseCkFP9a+sgLACfavr5 bLFd4kwFH3XYuDGvKAC7tsk= =YAmI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
