Quoting:"kFreeBSD offers an alternative in case Linux is branded illegal by the SCO case or other threats," the developers wrote. "In legal terms, Linux sources are like a minefield. kFreeBSD is much less vulnerable to such attacks."http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1000000121,39637586,00.ht... |

Thats a nice little text bomb to drop with no substantiation. I think I'll just put that one into the same file that I put KDE/Gnome opinions. |

I have clicked on this thread several times, it is still highlighted
over on the right side of the page: Latest Discussions I do have lots of stuff going on but no other link to a LXer thread does this. Why? Never Mind. It is fixed, or I corrected some problem with my machine. |

It's ironic given the history of BSD that anyone would be sufficiently ignorant to declare it safe from litigation concerns. What makes Linux a target is that it is actually used. |

bigg,Quoting:... What makes Linux a target is that it is actually used.Are you saying: BSD is Dead!? Please say it isn't true. Early on when I was new to Linux, I got helping hands from people using BSD. They just cannot be all dead now ... Oh, here is a happy thought: if Perl won't die, then all the supposedly defunct OSs, programming and scripting languages are still in use by people too busy to notice. Long Live the BSD! And all those other things assigned before their time to the dust bin (hey do those exist anymore?) of history. YBT |

If linux is not safe then neither is BSD - SCO has said that once they win their linux suit, they will go after BSD next. ALL your code are belong to us!!! |

No problem, SCO is about to be buried in counter suits. |
