What I don't understand is this need for people to compare Linux with
SCO/WNT/BSD/etc. in a "mine's better than yours" attitude. Why did
the comparison with SCO even come up? And why this attitude about
Linux becoming a commercial competitor? I don't think that Linus's
motivation for creating Linux was to create something that was ing to
go head-to-head with commercial OSs (although I can't speak for him);
I think he just wanted to see if he could do a Unix of his own that
would be a very quality OS that he and other people could use.
But flame away. It's entertaining to watch.
