thinks that it's unlikely. His point of view:
"Does ANYONE REALLY WANT ANOTHER LINUX DISTRIBUTION IN THE ENTERPRISE
MARKET? Please raise your hands. It turns out in a recent study, that 2% of

you imagine what that picture looks like for those that are not already in
the Oracle customer fold? It is not clear that ANYONE really wants this
third distribution in the enterprise market."
