Redhat: I clicked on the link and was presented with a wall of words. Oh and there was a bloody great piccy above the words that I had to scroll past. It looked a bit rubbish. Is that really the best that a multi billion dollar company's S&M department can come up with?
Back in the day, after I'd farted around with Slackware, Yggdrasil, Mandrake etc I'd come back to RH but that was a long time ago and now is now.
Should I bother to read the blurb ... had a go ... had another go ... ... got bored ... didn't finish - soz.
I believe that RH are an important component of the (GNU)Linux ecosystem but I am not exactly fired up by this effort. I am fired up by software in general and Libre software in particular.
OK ... another go at the marketing thing ... oh, apparently RH are the leading force in open source software.
Piss off.
Open source software looks after itself.
Feel free to include say the kernel devs amongst your "life blood"
Feel free to read LWN's articles that describe how stuff is done
There is no doubt that RH has contributed to open source software in a significant way but they are not on my radar these days.
Cheers
