You do not need a bounty system or anything along that line. A
commercial venture can be formed and the development of the software
can be co-sponsored with services provided. Software enhancements
would have to be shared as it is right now. No harm done, and the best
beta testing in the world. Win
Hi
I think EMC2 can not be compare to RED HAT software. After price for Red
Hat will be too high computer mfg will switch to UBUNTU or next in line

"Ubuntu does not have a positive cash flow."

For whatever my opinion may or may not be worth, I think well enough
should be left alone. EMC2 seems to be moving along just fine without
the 'commercial' headaches! It seems to me that EMC2 is being developed

Ok, lots of fine talk from people who are mostly interested
