Dell got scared.

Dell started in his garage and is now a billionaire. Nobody will be doing that with Linux.

That's absolutely wonderful for Michael Dell. What that has to do with this thread, I have no idea.

^^^^^^^^^^^^Dell started in his garage and is now a billionaire. Nobody will be doing that with Linux.^^^^^^^^^^^^

You've never heard of Marc Ewing, have you?

^^^^^^^^^^^^1994
Marc Ewing creates his own distribution of Linux which he names Red Hat Linux. Released in October, it becomes known as the Halloween release.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What are the possibilities that he was somewhere in the area of his garage when he did this?

He may not be a *B*illionaire, but I'm sure he's laughing all the way to the bank.

If things keep up, he may very well end up being a billionaire.
