EA on Linux

With regard to your closing remarks, I use Enterprise Architect (from Sparx Systems) under openSUSE 10.3, by running it in Crossover Office. Specifically, EA comes in a version designed to run in Crossover Office. EA perhaps isn't quite as snappy running this way as in Windows directly, but it's still pretty close, and it usually isn't worth booting up Windows just to run it under Windows.

Cheers, Tony.

VMware douses open source with waterfall of nonsense

Sun isn't really an "open source company"

Sure, Sun provides a lot of great free and/or open-source software, much of which I use. However, it doesn't make its money off software and related services, it makes the majority of it off hardware. So it isn't fair to compare them to a pure software company that has to make a business decision about whether open sourcing their code would help or hurt their viability as a business.

Cheers, Tony.

The Lost Baldwin?

Looks to me like they've created an image of a lost Baldwin brother. Can Alec Baldwin do a convincing Scottish/American accent?

Cheers, Tony.
