Let others know: > http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=jkeating > Just my two cents worth, but it seems to me Red Hat is following in the footsteps of many of the other publishers of Linux distributions: prostituting themselves by turning their backs on the home desktop and small office end users (who were the main support for their fledgling product in the early 90's) in favor of the broader enterprise market with the big bucks to spend; they and their overpaid CFOs with no accountability and no social conscience. I really am fed up with getting hooked on a desktop distribution that seems solid, and runs with a minimum of tweaking and tinkering, only to find it will no longer be available as a desktop/home/small office distribution (although it must be said that the tweaking and tinkering is what got me hooked on Linux at the outset). I am philosophically opposed to the dishonest business practices and chicanery of Gates & Co., and I choose not to use Windows XP any longer, even though Windows XP offers everything I need in a desktop OS, and worked extremely well for me. Red Hat Linux 9 offers everything I need in a desktop OS, (with only a few insignificant exceptions) and works extremely well for me, but... now you see it, now you don't? This turn of events really pisses me off. Apologies to all for the rant... Glenn -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
