These distro's should give IBM enough monetary incentive on the business side of things to be able to even let IBM consider a distro. Meaning, if distro A has potential to give IBM $ XX Million in the next Y years, then maybe distro A can stand a chance against SuSE or RedHat. That's just my $0.02 worth. -- Dean Michael Berris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG Key 0x08AE6EAC http://mikhailberis.blogspot.com/ Mobile: +63 9287291459
