> Bryan Sparks
Lord High Everything Else at Caldera, people selling a stretch Linux.  (Did
you know that Intel Linux is a 64/32-bit operating system?  Or is that just
a fancy way of saying "two bit"...)

Um, I forget.


I don't see anyone from FreeBSD there.
I don't see anyone from NetBSD there.
I don't know who is at BSDI, but none of those people seem to have any
affiliation with BSDI.  
Despite this, they proclaim that they are going to standardize all of

     BSDI 
     FreeBSD 
     Linux 
     NetBSD 
     SCO OpenServer 
     Sunsoft Solaris 
     SCO UnixWare

using, of course, the GNU C library.


My bet:  some manager at SCO stumbled across an old, dusty tape of the
System V Vivisection Suite obtained from AT&T and decided to resurrect it.
Of course, they needed Linus' buy-in since the dominant System V compatible
OS is now probably Linux...

Five will get you ten this works just as well as AT&T's attempt to standardize
everyone else out of competition.
