Zaxbowow, you're displaying your ignorance with your comments. Nobody said Linux distributions are equal. What's equal is the operating system itself and that will never change. Furthermore, Corel does not have its own Linux distribution as you put it. We've been over this. This is a raft of forfree and forsale graphics products on Linux and these meaningless announcements are just that. The ancient video conferencing effort by Corel was one of the earliest examples of a bandwagon failure. Can you tell us what the revenues are from video conferencing? I didn't think so. Investing in these worthless announcements is the height of ignorance.

Corel jumped on the Linux bandwagon by repacking an existing, completely free distribution. They have no expertise in operating systems or development tools. The company is a generate of meaninless press releases fueled by sales of a washed-up office suite they bought from Novel. Whether it's Network Computers, Video conferencing, Java Office Suites and now Linux. Cowpland seems to read industry magazines and a year or two after a particular technology looks poised to do something, he issues a press release and starts a project in that space. In every case that I can think of, it has resulted in total failure. Can you name a single success?

Nitki doesn't produce any of it's own products, but it is a power house

Zaxbowow - I see you've been "rodded" too. No one knows why his vitriol continues to spew, since he's continually denied any malign intent (or short position). Despite his continued harping on pointing to a single success, this company has been in business continually for over 13 years. That's a lifetime in this industry. I offer the "ignore this person" advice I received after his helpful blast to me. LOL.
