Hey HJ- do you even have a clue as to what VA linux does? Three years ago they were 5 guys in a office that assembled off-the-shelf PCs and stuck a shareware linux CD rom in the drive. They also had A tech guy who would answer the phone and help you get linux up and running, within the first 30 days of purchase. Thats it. THATS IT. Now, they are exactly the same company, but with a ton more people. This is a mania. The whole purpose of linux was that it CANNOT be controlled by any company. To say "linux" will beat microsoft is one thing, but that doesnt mean that anyone will get rich at it. Oh, except through selling stock. Because none of these linux companies have ever made a dime in profit. Little problem with the product you're selling is free.
