Perens readies old-school Linux, but who wants it?

VNUNet: "The first beta of a Linux distribution that hopes to compete with enterprise server products from SuSE and Red Hat is set for release on 1 September - but few in the industry can see it gaining much support. Backed by open source advocate Bruce Perens, the free UserLinux distribution claims to offer the same functionalities as existing enterprise Linux distributions ... According to its mission statement, UserLinux wants to provide businesses 'with freely available, high quality Linux operating systems accompanied by certifications, service, and support options designed to encourage productivity and security while reducing overall costs'. Perens started working on the project out of frustration over the rise of commercial interests in the open source community."
