So, what I'm hearing from you is that your beef is that they changed the 
name of the product from Red Hat Linux to Fedora EVENTHOUGH they are the 
same thing for the most part and perhaps Fedora is even better (I really 
don't know since I have not used Fedora).  Is the name change what's 
really got your goat?

Man, you really should have attended Justin's presentation on Fedora - it 
would have cleared a lot of this up for you.  And if you did attend that 
particular presentation, WHY THE HELL WEREN'T YOU LISTENING?

I'll go back to paying attention to things that really do matter now.
