www.sco.com is back online very lame though

"What shall happen if M$ buys SCO or buys the code and claims that Linux is illegal?"

The U. S. government will react in one of two ways.

A. The Department of Justice will indict Microsoft for monopolistic practices.

B. The Republicans will hit Microsoft up for a large campaign donation.

What will happend, if SCO win the case?
Someone will write the infected code out of the kernel, and write a replacement, or www.gnu.orgs hurd kernel will become the standart.

Well, I think mydoom.B is trading with www.microsoft.com for the time being.
The redmond monter's site seems to be definitely slow from here.

Just now I came to realize that I should download some really important and big updates for some 500 clients from redmond. I think each client deserves a separate download (since they are really good clients). Apart from that, our server will not be lazy for the night (it tends to get lazy).
However, I do not know what to download, yet, since I could only find 800k updates that do not deserve dealing with.

Do you have a good link?

i dont think hurd will beocme a standard, its says itself that it only suports 1 archetectsure, and im not sure, but form this like i said im not sure, but i dont think server runing around doing stuff on a difrent kernel is very stable, it seems like a good idea true, but i dont think the idea will work well on older/less powerful systems, i realy dont have a clue if its true so im probly worng like always

Journalists are people who have learned lots of words and nothing else, their employers exploit this lack of knowledge to rule the world.

The BBC seems to have messed up on the MyDoom story. There is a piece by journalist Stephen Evans here which treats it as a forgone conclusion that Open Source zealots/geeks are responsible for the virus. It doesn't mention any alternative theories at all and the only hint is a brief comment towards the end of the article that there is no proof that Linux geeks wrote the virus.

Overall a surprisingly poor piece of journalism from the BBC.

(Note : I do not object at all to someone putting forward the theory that MyDoom was written by one or more people from the Open Source community. What I object to here is that something which is highly contentious is portrayed pretty much as fact and no mention of alternative possibilities is made.)

I have written a short, polite, note complaining about the article.

Everyone who has been involved in a story in the media knows how highly the truth is valued by the journalists and their bosses!!!

Tux should sue the BBC for slander and defamation of character. Now that would be an entertaining headline.

The fact is someone with intimate knowledge of the Windows OS created the MyDoom virus on a Windows PC with Windows development tools. Any reasonable person would, therefore, have to put Linux "zealots" on the bottom of the suspect list. The news media has never been known for being reasonable, however. Sensationalism is what sells.

i´ve got one queestion!! What is hurd?

anyway someone wrotte that if m$ buy $co. linux open source will have more trouble than hardware drivers... i mean sco made plublicity against linux ´coz it´s illegal, M$ is doing a big bIG BIG campaign againt linux actually....but as linux is more fair than the others ,$co and M$, will be absolute OS.... IBM has implanted a linux lab in brazil to develop new softwares to their open source computers.... But i´m still not happy with linux ´coz all the games that i love are on the fuck*** M$ OS (buaaaaah!)as Star Wars´games....

Would you also please be so kind as to take more care of your language. I find it hard to read what you have written.

The Hurd is the GNU equivalent of Linux. Remember that Linux is, technically, only the Operating System kernel. Originally, GNU software was meant to build up to an entire OS. The apps got written first but the kernel was heavily delayed and Linux pretty much stepped into the gap.

The Hurd is now about 7 years old, from the first proper release, but hasn't really made much impact (as you'll guess since you haven't heard of it).

thanks for answering, friends ... and sorry i´m not a native english spoken and i´ve not practise my english for an age now....

Lesson one: There's a difference between ´ and '

It's also easier to read when you use paragraphs and a better punctuation. You don't need to save space. We have scroll bars if it doesn't fit on the screen.

Oh yeah, and hello at linuxquestion.org

I do not think this is the site where people come to learn the language and grammar.
