I was in Chemical Marketing for 26 years and the one thing you never do is blow off your supporters. It made no sense and jerked off a bunch of people whose hearts and minds RedHat practically owned. Whoever made that call needed to have their head examined. > This has been a good thread. I hope it serves as a wake up call to > the Fedora developers and their sponsors, especially Red Hat. I still believe in RedHat, that's the helluvait. Fedora is a good concept but it doesn't serve as a drop-in-replacement for the olde 6.0 series boxed set for the Linux User. Yum beats the heck out of what we had back when, an over-burdened FTP site. Smart looks like a step in the right direction. RPM can be fixed.
