> I am not going to battle it out with you guys over this stupid Red Hat > issue. it was never intended as a battle, at least not from my stand point? i thought it odd. it seemed a silly route to me. i am sorry you see it as such a major affront > Red Hat users hate Mandrake users, and Mandrake users hate Red Hat users. > It's a brutal war. Get over it. It is a freaking distro of Linux. Use > what you want, and stop bitching about the other. if indeed users of either distro hate the other, i had no idea. i for one thought redhat made good tech but a poor distro. i would think hate could be reserved for things that are actually wrong, like bigetry say. my mistake. > Okay... Now, if Mandrake offered a discount for Red Hat or SuSE users, > would you all flip out at Mandrake and scream "foul! foul!" or would you > be all "Yay Mandrake! You beat up that mean guy in red!" niether, nor am i crying foul now. nor do i think they are the mean guy in red. i questioned a buis. decision. sorry to have stepped into your bad day........ is there anyone who would like to address the actual (attempted) topic, "does redhat feel they are slipping away as a desktop offering?" or shall we just play taps and bury this? :) -- For more than 4 generations the IT Professionals were the guardians of quality and stability in software.
