I don't think people realize how important it is to have a truly free, indemnification issue free, 100% redistributable distribution that can be proliferated and redistributed by others. I have hardly shared any my contributions, been largely a "leech" when I deploy and utilize Fedora and add my own RPMs, etc... For this, I continue to salute Fedora, like I did Red Hat Linux prior. It's a Godsend in a very, very under-appreciated aspect of Linux distributions. I'll defend select, other distros for the same reasons as well -- but I professionally find Fedora's release model and alignment the most advantageous. Hopefully I'll have a position in the future that will let me directly contribute to Fedora as a small part of my paid job function (like I was on Debian long ago). Until then, I've always hesitated to be a formal maintainer (which would be on my own time) because I can't guarantee any upkeep. I know, poor excuse, especially with all the benefits I have directly reaped from Fedora (and money I've made as a consultant). > Coming up with a suitable replacement for Pirut, for example. Referring back to the aforementioned sign at the animal shelter I mentioned. ;) -- Bryan J.
