Essentially Red Hat is slowly taking over and developing/assisting
Centos to be a more regular and structure organisation. The fact that
Red Hat now owns the Centos brand worries me but that's life. Absolutely
nothing remains static.
Centos was created by many ordinary people to whom I am very grateful.
Its a really great operating system. I genuinely like it, hence I
abandoned M$ completely about 5 years ago and have never regretted it. I
just wish I had migrated to Centos many years earlier.
Red Hat will gain commercially from their de facto take-over. One of the
general beneficial effects will be bringing Linux into the vast
mainstream of everyday computing and attracting (or should that be
enticing?) M$ business users. Working as a single team with Red Hat
will inevitably mean speedier updates for Centos users.
I love Linux and want this merger to succeed. I'm patiently waiting for
Centos on my Cube (Android) tablet.
Happy New Year.
