RedHat sues SCO

[slvadcjelli42]

SuSE too? Wow, this is really escalating. Well, on one side it is    Oh, and you'd be proud, suselinux, I downloaded and ran a "live-eval" version of SuSE... I gotta say I was very impressed, I think I'll try the real thing sometime in the near future. I hope it comes with the tools and things redhat has, though, I'll have to look into that... I'm really starting to like those...

You'll find SuSE carries alot more stuff than REDHAT because its a commercial distro it comes with some non GPL stuff.  including MP3 capability    

lots of video editing stuff and so on

I think Mandrake is right up there with SuSE, so if you don't want to buy SuSE download mandrake 9.1

Red Hat say they are a user friendly Distro, but I don't think they are.

Ah, I see! Thanks. I ordered some CD's from TuxCDs.com, Knoppix and Redhat (or XXX XXX, hahaha) but the redhat one doesn't work    I think I'll try downloading another distro until I get that figured out, but can't I download SuSE as well as Mandrake? (I'm apparently downloading a CD image to install SuSE right now, although I guess I could be missing something    )

I can't open that particular URL but I read another one on slashdot.  I belive SCO's words were that they had no concrete plans to sue linux companies.

Which of course means nothing.  SCO says one thing and does a 180 later.
