    Everyone should fear the IRS.

    Isn't medical malpractice the number three cause of death in the US? I
    have no doubt be beholden to the whims of the FDA is uncomfortable.

    RHEL's manufacturing starts with FC. Contrary to the belief of some very
    vocal folks it's not a beta kludge. It's been as stable as any other
    distro out there.

    I don't think we disagree at all or require any conversion. I think we're
    arguing desperate points about the same thing. The statements in this
    thread that FC has something wrong with it (when compared to any other
    distro) are simply incorrect.

    People with bad experiences scream louder than anyone else. I personally
    don't like Suse. But I'm willing to admit it's my level of experience and
    comfort with Suse that's at issue, not the distro itself.
