RHAT can do this kind of thing too... That goes back to my previous rant, where RedHat used to hold the Expos here in the RTP in Nawth Carolanky. You got to meet and greet all of your old buddies and sit in the Carolina late summer afternoons and shoot the breeze. Everyone one big happy family. Now, zilch. My two cents sez they handed the users over to Mr. Shuttleworth on a silver platter. PR is all. PR is Everything. Of course, there is the fickleness of human nature... all RedHat has to do is to have the hands-down best distro and all the expos in the world wouldn't top that.
