Geesh. Who in here has worked at a software company before? Testing is testing. You are probably going to have more people testing Fedora than most commercial software ever gets tested. I'm still trying to figure out what the deal is here. It will probably have more testing than other Red Hat releases. What did you get with RH9 that you won't have with Fedora is the question. Did you get phone support with RH9 (the 60 dollar support I keep seeing people writing about....no). So, what is the real issue here? Is it that it is now called something different? Is it because you have to go to a different web site? I'm still confused by all the confusion...:-P. I'm still trying to figure out what it is that you don't think you have that you had with RH9 or 8. Can someone elaborate as to what your base question is? What did you get with your previous support that you think you don't have now? The updates are going to be there, so is it because you can't buy it in a boxed set? I just don't see the reason for all of the confusion. We have all been using open source software. The Linux kernel is open source. Everything in the system is open source. Now, the package known as Red Hat is in a more open format. I'm not getting the big deal.

Not only does it get internal testing but it also gets extensive customer testing. You could dowload the Fedora test release yourself today if you want to. Issues are reported through bugzilla.redhat.com and you can see for yourself how effective the beta has been. .../Ed (who's installed betas in the past, but not Fedora) -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
