Yes, which is why RHEL is not the best choice for you. I'm OK with
that, but there's no reason to take it so personally. "Doesn't do what
I want" is not the same as "RHEL is trash."
You have no idea the economic damage RHEL did to me.
Here you go:
7.2 not compatible with C236 and RSTe motherboard

Oh Gee Wiz! It has been only ignored for FOUR years.
It was clearly a timing error, the hard drive was
too fast. And it worked perfectly and is working
perfectly under Fedora. The hardware vendor even
offered you free hardware to work on it. The final
ruling was that you did not support the motherboard.
And that goes back to the out-of-date nature of RHEL.
Whenever you get nailed for hardware not working with
RHEL, you fall back on the "not supported" argument.
And what is supported CAN NOT BE FOUND. It is out of
stock for years and years. Cute! Gets you out of
anything.
I had to work 16 hour days for a week FOR FREE to
completely rebuild a Scientific Linux server
into a Fedora server. I had to learn a lot of about
current Linux practices in a hell of a hurry. It
cost me THOUSANDS of dollars in lost billings.
I am sorry, but "Trash" applies.
It does not matter that bugs reported from the community would
strengthen the overall health of the the product.
We do care about the community, and we do fix bugs reported by the
community. We do this in this other project called "Fedora" so if
that's what you want, that's what you should use ;-)
You are correct, but only to a certain extent. You did
correct the one for me where cutting a DVD in CentOS 5
scrambled your hard drive. Happened twice to me.
That as appreciated. You kind of stopped there.
Fedora, unlike RHEL, does respond and in an impressive
timely matter. RHEL picks and chooses. But so
does Fedora, they just pick a tremendous amount
more. Fedora practices Kaisen. RHEL is locked down.
(although, ironically, I'm currently working on backporting to RHEL an
upstream patch set that wasn't requested by a customer)
Interesting. Hopefully you won't pull all your hair out
if the back port require a five year old utility or command
switch that is not available in such an out dated package
