,----[ Quote ]
| Sun has really changed its tune from back in 2003, when it was dismissing
| Dell, Linux and open source. Today, Sun sells Red Hat and Novell Linux, has
| open-sourced both its main operating system, OpenSolaris and programming
| language, Java, and, yes, Sun is now partnering with Dell.
