Is there any advantage to this way of doing things or does Red Hat
needlessly insists on keeping its mirrors busy?

Do you mean Redhat or Fedora?
If you order Redhat, they mail you the CDs.

Right, My mistake. So, let's say I meant Fedora or CentOS. So it could
mean that Red Hat is trying to sell its CDs... if people didn't know
that you can order Fedora or CentOs for real cheap. Maybe people don't
know and that's a desperate attempt to get more money in from those
corporate sharks. Maybe...

As for the rest "A large group of people", is not an argument to me.


You are the one that is not making a coherent argument.
Explain to me how anyone is supposed to judge the motives
of the Fedora project.

No, no! We must not judge the motives, they're secret. It's their business. Ask no question.

And if you don't know it, Fedora or CentOS is not the same thing as
Redhat.

CentOS certainly not :)

I support a Redhat system at work. There is considerable
value in the services offered by Redhat. In a corporate
environment going with Redhat makes a lot of sense.

Some say that, in a corporate environment, going with Microsoft makes a lot of sense: it's even more obscure and, consequently, you get more support for more money. But you always get your money's worth, of course. You know, you're not that dumb. You just can't read what is not written, that's it!

Ok, I have to give up here. Otherwise, this is really going to turn into a troll.

Be kind: just buzz off!
