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.
