I wasn't trying to make any kind of statement, it was a question. I had read all the recent articles regarding the Red Hat Global Desktop and talk of proprietary codecs and what would appear to be a product outside of the typical enterprise focus of current Red Hat products and then today I see what appears to be indications of a change or at least talk of a change in focus for Fedora. I have been a Red Hat user since 6.0, cut my Linux teeth on the hacked up version of Red Hat that Cobalt used on their old Raq3 servers. I went from that to 6.2 on my own co-located servers and have used every version of Red Hat since. Having already been through a change with my favorite disto, I get touchy when there is talk of messing with the focus of Redhat and now Fedora. Again, my email was a question and not any kind of statement....
