Why? It's a community distro, so it can't really fail. Someone wrote about the
other day about "why if Canoncical bought PCLOS?" but it's nonessential.
Xandros seems weak, but Turoblinux and Novell will take more time to fall or
devolve into some proprietary ugly Linux for people who are into SCOSource and
other such junk.

we already had the OEMs wrapped up."
