Robert,

I don't have a problem with either one of them being on Nasdaq.  I just
don't like the idea of comapnies selling off huge chunks of themselves
to other companies.  I know it happens all the times, but I don't have
to like it :-)

Caldera actually states tht they don't own DRDOS.  I didn't look into
it, to see what they meant, However.

Linux on the 390 is a bit different , However.  It will still be running
OS390, but will run many many virtual machines, running Linux, a neat
concept, I think.
