Re: [MLUG] Goodbye Red Hat Linux

[Jason McIntosh <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Look at Fedora.
Fedora and RedHat are working together to produce their desktop line of 
products.  It's not supported, primarily b/c RedHat probably isn't 
making any money, isn't really selling any quantity, etc. of their 
desktop line.  Plus, keeping up to date, supporting different products, 
etc. etc. etc. isn't worth it to them.  SO, they make it completely 
user supported, much like other distros.
http://fedora.redhat.com/
It's not "supported" by RedHat, but it's essentially the old RedHat 
Desktop distribution - you just can't buy support for it.
Aside from that pointer, I'm not going to bother explaing, validating, 
pointing out how it's still available, etc. to certain self righteous 
people who are stuck on Microsoft so heavily they refuse to listen to 
any alternative, including evidence and logical argument.  "smug" for 
no reason....*sigh* morons are bloody annoying.
Regards,
Jason
