    I would be a lot more amazed if they finally came out and admitted
    that they're not always doing good things for the community and that
    perhaps they should work WITH a project that's already in place, such
    as, oh... say... DEBIAN! :)

    As much as I like RH for advancing GNU/Linux in general, I think some
    of their business decisions aren't the greatest. Not to mention some
    of their compatibility issues. Does anyone remember gcc 2.96?

    Rather than trying to do what Debian has been doing for years, I'd
    much rather see them JOIN with Debian to further promote
    community-supported distros.
