And the sad part is that now that they have announced that they are dropping their unofficial Linux support,
I have no current plans to alter our treatment of Linux. It is not now, nor has it ever been, a supported platform. We do build for it, and some people are happy about that.
I have not constructed a business case which would cause Netscape to begin support for Linux versions of the Navigator. Right now, I'm not sure that making a point of this would do what you want.
I'll say some people are happy about it.
You just recently turned down an order for 230 copies of the netscape navigator for Linux, and as you folks aren't making any money, you can only wonder why.
You have also turned numerous other attempts by varionus people to buy both quantities of navigaors and server software for Linux.
It seems to me that you folks are going out of your way to deny the fact that the Linux market exists. I think that its because you are embarassed that all these people with a $20 operating system are throwing money at you while all the folks with $10K operating systems aren't talking to you at all.
That is ok! I just called there "Sales" dept. and asked for some info. to be sent to me on there serevers. I got 5 copies of what is on the WEB page. I could have done that. I asked him for prices and told him this was to present to a group of Marketing and Buss. type for a community system to bring Internet access to a whole county that does not have it now.. BTW, the system will be running on Suns and SGI's..... Oh well.. I thought they would do better than this. So far, there no better then sun at customer service...
