In an interview today with Linux-Watch, controversial Linux leader Kevin Carmony confirmed rumors that he had resigned as CEO of desktop Linux vendor Linspire on July 31. Carmony said he plans to work on several of his own business projects, and on Mitt Romney's presidential campaign.
Carmony said that, after six years at Linspire, it was time to move on. Projects he plans to work on include continuing as Chairman of the Board of Sadie's, a nationwide children's photography studio chain, and serving as CEO of Dating DNA, an online dating service based on social networks. In addition, Carmony will be working more on Mitt Romney's campaign to become the Republican candidate for the U.S. Presidency in 2008.
While he may be leaving Linspire, Carmony said, "I will always be a big supporter of Linspire and desktop Linux." And, "I will always be a desktop Linux user."
Carmony also said that Linspire is stronger than ever.
If Robertson is reading ? Linspire direction is browserwise ?
We have Lindows with CnR advantage, but Ubuntu got the popularity with Gnome.
The problem with Kevin is he lost leadership with Linspire architecture, once the Ubuntu fork took over Debian codes.
The way to get back the leadership of Linux distro is browser oriented. The toolbar of the browser is the key to vista compatibility and technology advancement.
Fireofox takes up cache management in dram and demands 512 mb or more, later. The management has to be garbage collection and hdd virtual memory to reduce computer dram requirement. SeaMonkey can log on to Bank of America, made it more important for inclusion. Browser is the operating system, if drivers(PnP) can be installed from the toolbar. Linux kernel has hdd virtual memeory, drivers and network DHCP, and dhcpcd. All linux kernels can be installed by toolbar clicks?
It is much easier to stay with Debian and work on browser toolbars for Linspire to have leadership in Linux distro ranks?
Footnote:
bios installs the basic VGA, keyboard and mouse. Then browser toolbar installs the more advanced drivers? Toolbar can manage hdd cache of webpages, and change Dhcpcd drivers and network connections? Browser has realtime dotnet packets and is Vista compatible SOA? Many developers know how to add toolbars in browsers, Google, Yahoo, ebay, etc.?
