As to RedHat 9.0 vs. RedHat 9:

Distinction noted. Thanx to all who responded.



You've still got it wrong. There is a space between "Red" and "Hat". The company that makes the product is "Red Hat" or "Red Hat, Inc." and
the product name in question is Linux. Hence, "Red Hat Linux 9." (When
talking about Microsoft Windows 2000, you never shorten it as "Microsoft
2000" do you? Then why do people insist on doing the same with Red Hat
Linux?)

I love it, the underware gnomes are working for Red Hat now :)

let's let those who are in charge of enforcement of the trademark worry about the correctness and those of us who are using & abusing the name to worry about other things.
