Olga, I agree with what you say on several points. But the information liquidy of the internet is making it more favorable to superior technology and less favorable to Marketing. Corl products run on Corl Linux. Aplx products operate on all Linuxes and all Unixes. The strategic message of Open Source is freedom from specific vendors of hardware and software. Aplx is and corl is not. Star Office also competes as an office suite at aplx level. Unless some basic law's of technology have reversed, the GraphON solution is not a good idea. The average consumer will find this out quickly. I don't critise corl for using Debian, I suggest that claiming Debian is a better Linux is fraud. This is Debian fraud not corl fraud. But it's interesting that corl is in bed with Debian. Now this could have occured as some Linux newbie at corl got born again as a Debian and that's history. Only a tech newbie would buy into emulation fairy tales. I also suspect that the emulation path of corl dictate that they have their own controlled version of a distribution and they chose debian as the slowest advancing. No let's say that Debian is the longest time delayed advancing. 6 to 9? 12 months. Gives time for unique corl product integration. The just released Linux kernel will ease installation of all Linuxes. Also I heard from several that the Caldera lizard is the simplest of installs. Caldera is going IPO. With big IPO every body focuses and reviews and... Competition..... I just don't see the revenue for 60 million shares. aplx 11 million shares. Oh, I never ftp a distribution watman.com ya just end up burning a cd anyway that cost a buck the burn costs 30 minutes. Olga, I weigh the pluses to cons and the what it's takes and what is the foundation. And short term it may mean squat. Long term it may mean squat. But are we investing or are we gambling.
