Re: [cobalt-users] Sun Solaris??? Bad Business Decision

Thanks for your thoughts Bill.

The way I see it is that Raq's are made with the Linux O.S in mind, like the
sparc systems are made with Solaris in mind. That's why not alot of sun
sparcs are Linux compatible.

Cobalt will be pushed back ages into the old raq2 era by this move. They
will be starting from the beginning on a new O.S. with new hardware.
