Yo! I get a weird feeling reading this ZDNews article... <http://news.zdnet.com/2100-3513_22-5534343.html> First about ZDNet: Hey folks, this all is really not about 'gratis software' at all. I don't have the impression Mr. Shankland understands this at all. RedHat: are they - again - trying to duplicate Debian (and other community driven projects)? Fedora Extra --> something like apt-get.org, or a mix between that and contrib? Allowing outsiders to get patches into Fedora? Wow, I thought that's what community support meant in the first place. I didn't realize they failed that miserably in the first place. And, oh, yes, PPC and AMD64 support. Great news, isn't it. I really wonder if RedHat wouldn't be better off by just switching to being a Debian-based distribution - they'd have their community here, and RH has the manpower to enhance Debian enough to sell it as a product of their own... (Ok, I admit it, this is all just because it's whine-about-RH week for me, apparently.) -- vbi -- Beware of the FUD - know your enemies.
