Re: It's all about the buzzwords

"And "Linux" only 6".

The word "linux" hasn't really ever been used commercially. IBM was rather instrumental in taking linux mainstream, or should I say mainframe, something that started in IBM Germany.

The only TV add I can remember about linux was the one IBM made, with that young kid, 20 years ago?.

Red Hat was of course my first linux in 98.

With now more than 260 comments I know I am not going to read them all, much because they will be very similar, and largely negative. Quite frankly could anybody mention a merger met with great applause. I am still searching, to no avail.

All the same, I wish them all the best, and linux will prevail regardless of how this works out.
