Re: Competing Robin Hood Linux

Hey de Weerd, I'm still waiting for you to illuminate me...

(Interview: Novell's Greg Mancusi-Ungaro Thursday, May 11, 2006)

LXF: On the Novell company blogs recently, there's been a lot of 
discussion about whether a Linux company can be 'the next Microsoft'...

Greg Mancusi-Ungaro: Well, Red Hat in one of their initial prospectuses 
said 'our goal is to be the Microsoft of Linux'. Actually, that made 
a lot of people wince! I don't think that should be the goal. I think 
what you want to be is, in effect, like Switzerland - you want to be 
the people of unquestionable integrity.
