Glad to see redhat go down the shitter. I was never a fan, but that's not the reason to hate on redhat. Everything is behind a paywall or a license. They just seemed like another Microsoft, especially when they started licensing Linux on at a per CPU core level. I think the only thing going for it is their support, but in my 20 years in the industry I've only ever used vendor support like once or twice, I've usually overcome obstacles on my own. At a previous workplace we had Ubuntu without licensing or support. The company tried to make us switch our infrastructure to redhat because they wanted indemnification. So we instead purchased Ubuntu support/licensing and again - never once did we use it or need it. Virtually everything we built we figured out ourselves. So when it comes to vendor support, I usually don't give a shit.

- pnutjam 3y agoVendor support is pretty crappy. By the time you're done gathering all the logs and running out the response time clock you've usually figured it out. Then at least half the time they do help, it's wrong because you're environment has some special requirement.
