More Sun Schizophrenia -- 1:32 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Sun President Jonathan Schwartz goes on the warpath, proclaiming that Red Hat is proprietary while Java is better. *insert your own joke here* Thankfully, eWeek got Eric Raymond to answer these "arguments" in his own inimitable style. Here's my favorite ESR quote:

"So, in Mr. Schwartz's universe, the fact that I may have to type, 'configure; make; install' is a bigger anti-competitive barrier than binaries I can't see inside? In other breaking news, war is peace and freedom is slavery. Mr. Schwartz has a lucrative career waiting at Orwell's 'Ministry of Truth' after Sun goes belly-up, something I'm back to thinking it will do shortly with a mind like this at the helm."

It's good to know that as SCO is going down the tubes, we still have Sun to provide us with our technology entertainment. Thanks Linux Today.
