I respect your opinion but you avoided to reply to my arguments. This way
I can't reproduce your fears. That you don't want to take part in the
further discussion is a pity.

Yes, theoretically X works over my 14.000 Baud Modem. I tested it, the
usal tk-application takes only 1-2 minutes to appear, a pull-down menu
about 15-30 seconds. I'm sure this can be reduced by a compressor like
dxcp.

Co-operation and "hype" are different things. I didn't say anything
against co-operation with RedHat.
But hype is something which prevents new ideas and blindly copying
something from RedHat is hype (not cooperation).
