Siince comments are not allowed on the original site http://chris.pirillo.com/2008/01/24/ubuntu-response-from-red... I am posting a small correction here. Ryan - January 24, 2008 @ 2:11 am said: Red Hat obviously developed the "Red Hat Package Manager," aka RPM, which is the worthless piece of dependency hell of a package manager that ever existed. The TRUTH: Caldera was originally a Red Hat distributor, and financed some Red Hat development, such as the RPM install module, but parted ways over quality issues. http://www.aaxnet.com/news/B000722.html Ryan - January 24, 2008 @ 2:11 am said: Microsoft? Don't get me started. After all, Microsoft did in fact develop XENIX, which is in fact, a distribution of UNIX. So let me get lay this out for you. Microsoft developed a distribution of UNIX, then sold the rights to SCO, however acquiring 25% of the SCO corporation. SCO turns around and sues Novell for copyright infringement of UNIX copyrights. The TRUTH: Xenix was a version of the Unix operating system, licensed by Microsoft from AT&T in the late 1970s. The Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) later acquired exclusive rights to the software, and eventually began distributing it as SCO UNIX. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenix |
