I reckon most people complaining about RHEL: - never really needed to use an enterprise OS, they could have just used any other *nix. - don't understand that what Red Hat is doing is perfectly in line with not only Open Source but also Free Software If you hate Red Hat or IBM, just don't use it and move on, use a community driven OS which is a lot easier and is probably a lot more flexible, you are not going to convince any enterprise to drop their RHEL subscriptions. As many have pointed out: the support is RHEL, not the code, the code without Red Hat support and contracts is useless.
