Just asking... what you call groundbreaking linux support... I personally consider a major problem... they are 1) Binary only, and not helping the open source goal at large forward 2) Borderline legal, if at all (my personal opinion is that they are not legal, and abusing code I wrote) 3) Lagging behind and even keeping the kernel from going forward at times. but.. if you buy a RHEL subscription the support guys you call will be happy to work with such vendors on joint problems.
