UnitedLinux falls apart

Linux 3330 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Saw over PCLinuxOnline that IT-Director has posted an analysis about UnitedLinux:

"The idea was to take four bit players in the Linux distribution market and create a global player to rival Red Hat, which in some circles is talked about with the same dislike as Microsoft. All four of the players were struggling to show results. Caldera, now SCO, has experienced layoffs recently. Turbolinux, which is popular in mainland China, stated it wanted to focus on its brand of management software. SuSE and Conectiva have failed to become global players with only strong penetration in Germany and Brazil respectively."

KDE and Red Hat

Linux 3330 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Linux and Main has posted an article about KDE and Red Hat:

"Disagreements between the developers of KDE and Red Hat are poised to burst into a full-grown feud following remarks made by Red Hat employees, changes made to KDE in the latest Red Hat beta, and what KDE developers see as the leading Linux distributor's general disrespect for the KDE development effort.

The dispute, which has simmered since Red Hat and its Advanced Development Lab promoted and worked on the GNOME desktop to the exclusion of KDE, has grown worse recently, and has been fueled by the way in which KDE is deployed in the latest Red Hat beta, codenamed "null," by an offer Red Hat made to KDE in connection with this month's LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, and by email disparaging KDE that was apparently written by a Red Hat employee and was leaked to KDE developers."

Lindows will do what?

Linux 3330 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Looks like they are changing their story again:

Lindows.com is changing its strategy. The company has abandoned its efforts to woo customers away from Windows.

Lindows.com now focuses on making Linux applications easy to download and install, which makes absolutely no sense.
