“SGI, VA Linux Systems, O’Reilly Associates, and the Debian
Project are coming together to place another retail distribution of
Linux on the market, but this one has a twist: it’s
non-profit.”
“Backers said they are not trying to compete head-on with the
more widely known Linux distributions such as Red Hat, Suse,
Caldera, or TurboLinux.
“I don’t expect it to be selling in those volumes,” said Brian
Biles, VA Linux Systems vice president of marketing. “But it is an
important choice for people interested in Linux.”
