Any insights on the Fedora project?
Harvesting open source. Everbody does the hard work and RH then repackages the good stuff and sells to the enterprise.
OFFCOURSE they are providing you some sort of meeting ground and maybe some crummy servers (leftovers from the enterprise dept.?) which they are likely to shut when it starts hitting their bottom line.
Debian also provides you everything that RHE does and doesnt charge you a cent. Further policy is not bent to pay somebody fat salaries nor tailored to fit bottom lines. So why bother with RH?
Well somone is needed to fight conventional thinking so why not RH? RH should just concentrate on marketing GNU/Linux AND lobbying with governments to force adoption of open standards. It will give them more than a fighting chance against M$.
And an earlier discussion which saw this coming.
