[Dan George]

  Also mentioned how RH was left out of a deal that other distros like
SUSE, Caldera and Turbo Linux made with major players like HP, IBM
and Compaq.   
  

 In ComputerWorld mag it mentioned that a tape recording of Bill Gates 
"I will penalize every computer manufacturer that ships with Linux installed"
was not submissible in court -a judge ordered.
