CentOS or other repackaged RHEL is a /much/ greater threat than any Fedora LTS could ever be... and much easier to maintain to boot. And Red Hat is going out of its way to make them possible (by segregating the Red Hat only stuff in easily replaced packages, by not adding a Red Hat icon to everything they ship (that would be rather easy), by keeping the distribution as such under GPL, by making the SRPMs publicly available, even if they aren't forced to do so (yes, there is lots of non-GPL stuff in RHEL; and GPL doesn't say you have to give source out to everybody freely, just to anybody who got the binaries and asks)). This conspiracy theory makes little sense (does any?). -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 2654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 2654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile 2340000 Fax: +56 32 2797513 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
