Redhat are not ending their free distros in fact they are extending the free distro into a new release called Fedora. See http://fedora.redhat.com.


I have been eagerly awaiting its first release which was due out today. All Redhat have said is that they will no longer sell the personal version of Redhat Linux and if you want to buy a version it will have to be from the Advanced/Enterprise fold.

Subject: SOT: Novell to acquire SUSE


Thought this was interesting:

http://www.suse.com/us/company/press/press_releases/archive03/novell_suse.html

With RedHat ending their free distros (well, at least the free versions that
won't change every 2 weeks), and now this acquisition, seems like
cost-benefit of Linux is slowly dying. While Novell hasn't announced plans
to stop providing free versions of SUSE, I don't see why they wouldn't
follow RedHat's lead at some point.
