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.)
