I for one am not throwing stones at anyone. Redhat introduced me to the
Linux world, but now after the statements made by their CEO, I will be
damned if I am going to introduce their S/W at work. I really do not care
what the "GPL" states they can or cannot do, they have shafted the users
that have made them what they are today. I feel let down and will move both
work AND home to another distro ....Mandrake? Certainly they seem to be
better at supporting their users!
Anyone got that Micro$oft feeling with RedHat$!
Long may their stock free fall, they deserve everything the market throws at
them. FOR SHAME REDHAT.
