   I, personally, have no worries now regarding the survival of Linux.  It   
   doesn't even need IBM or RedHat to survive now.  The community   
   guarantees its survival.   
      
   The only dark cloud is if they start outlawing Linux.  That would remove   
   legitimate concerns (Novell, RedHat, etc. etc.) from the community of   
   users.   
      
   Something I'm sure MS is lobbying for.
