                       Too bad guy's it was all for nothing.
                       Sylvan has tagged us all as idiots if we
                       don't get their Linux certification.

                       I feared it would be the demise of the Os
                       and now it is so. I guess we leared to
                       hold the rights to certification the next
                       time we build an Os. Nce work to all who
                       participated. But now with all the cheeters
                       entering the Linux field it will be sure
                       to be just another Microsoft and novell
                       "reboot it!" server with a bad track record.

                       Next time the next Linus will have to protect the

                       Os's trademark against these
                       Os killers certification processes.

                       I am sorry to say I have decided to start
                       work on another OS (open source of course)
                       with protection from the Sylvan Empire
                       (dark side).

                       Since Sylvan now has the say as to who can
                       be employed using linux and only if you use
                       Linux they way they say you should. Or in
                       short they now own it!

                       I have decided to start planning another os
                       but hold the rights as to whether or not anyone
can
                       "CERTIFY" people in the OS.
                       Making it fair for all to compete illiminating
the
                       Political B.S. of Sylvan
                       Which Linux has now fallen victim too.

                       Best of luck to Linux anyway. It was hard
                       work and truly is a great os but I can't
                       say I did'nt see it comming either. It almost
made
                       a great Os.

                       If any one has any ideas on how this protection
can
                       be implemented on an
                       already open source product. Maybe we should try
to
                       save it. Have a talk with Linus or something.
