You might notice that Red Hat hosts a lot of *other* mailing lists too: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo And I suppose hosting say the BLinux list is all part of another conspiracy? > Then think about whether RedHat has a vested interest in *not* supporting > anything that doesn't view the world the same way their annointed "God of > the Desktop" does. It's hard to try to take this seriously, but: what is this supposed "vested interest"?
