Ya know, if you always do what you've always done, you're always going
to get what you've always gotten. What blows my mind is that smarter people
than Ransom Love actually buy this tired ghost of a marketing scheme, "Linux
for business." They couldn't make it work for OpenLinux, haven't yet made
it work for OpenUnix, and so they think it will work for Turdera^H^H^H^H^H^H^H
UnitedLinux?

Just in case no one's figured it out, I'm just pissed. Until this morning,
I missed Caldera; I just realized that what I *really* missed was Caldera's
potential and, with just a couple of exceptions, the people with whom I
worked at Caldera. The company has a death wish, and, not content with their
own self-destruction, have persuaded three other Linux companies to jump off
the cliff with them.
