[NTLUG:Discuss] @#$%^&*! redhat up2date!!!!!

[Paul Ingendorf]

Maybe you were thinking of another post when you clicked reply to mine?  I
didn't mention fedora nor say there was anything wrong with it.

My post was a simple explination of why people have a bad taste in their
mouth when it comes to those two little words "red hat".

I just don't understand this point of view.  What is wrong with Fedora?
I am using it, it works
great.  It is everything that RH 10 Personal should be, end of story.

With YUM underlying the up2date facility in Fedora, I am keeping as up
to date as one can.

It is clear to me that RH made a *very wise* and *shrewd* move.  They
took RH Personal and
gave it to the open source community.  Wow!!!  Isn't that what we all
want?  The name change of RH
10 Personal to Fedora makes a lot of sense too.  The Fedora trademark is
not the RedHat
trademark.  This means the Fedora trademark can go by a more lenient set
of guidelines for
its use, and RH retains the more strict and, yes, valuable trademark in
"RedHat".

RedHat is the commercial version with enterprise support.  Many
corporations require
an OS that is supported by a company.  RedHat is made for them.  Fedora
is the
open source version with community support.  I think it is great.
