Actually just kidding, but I find the recent announcement from RedHat on the merging of the RedHat Linux Project and the Fedora Linux project to be very interesting and exciting. It appears that this merger is going to produce a very exciting meta distro a lot like debian. No more do we have to complain about redhat not shipping package x. Now we can have a whole debian-like metarpository of compatible packages. I expect freshrpms to begin converting their packages to be fedora compatible.
I presume RedHat will use the fedora core packages to build their enterprise RedHat Linux and sell it as they always have, but the end-user RedHat Linux is going to become more like best that debian has to offer. Complete with apt-get. Of course the catch here is that RedHat is only going to support Enterprise RedHat Linux. So this is a money-making move on their part, but as a RedHat user who supports myself, like most debian users, I see this as a good move.
