HP and Compaq Merger makes Linux a huge winner
This is off the topic, but I could not resist posting this interesting take
on Linux: Read Below
HP-Compaq's Great Software Challenge
What will CEO Carly Fiorina do about its gaggle of operating systems? The
decision could confirm her vision -- and make Linux a huge winner

Hmm... Propose me a valid alternative for x86 platforms, and will be more
than happy to switch (well, apart from BeOS, my second big love!)
Well, I know, it's not a microkernel, and in theory, HURD should kick asses,
but it's not ready for prime time just yet. I hope in Debian's effort to
bring it to life. (GNU HURD more or less is like Mach-O, OS/X kernel, and
IMO, the _best_ kernel on this planet, despite what Linus says)

Some might even offer that Solaris isn't exactly top of the heap
any more.

And I replied... Never had the problem (and I have quite a few Macs running
Tomcat around the house, even a MacOS/9 running Tomcat 3.x - pretty amazing
indeed!)

somebody ask a question about images not showing up under a few mac
browsers, and I wanted to know if this person solved the problem.
It could have been two days ago, but I really thought that it was yesterday.
