Red Hat Takes Aim at SuSE, Mandrake

Posted by michael on from the when-penguins-attack dept.

gowen writes "The gloves have come off in the competition between commercial linux distributions. The Register is reporting that Red Hat is offering a $10 rebate to people who upgrade to Red Hat 7.3, including those who previously used Mandrake and SuSE. Previous users of Windows are not eligible for a rebate."

    People coming off Windows need a good 12-step program, not a rebate.

    I won't use Redhat, or for that matter any linux distribution based in the US.

    If you don't buy a US distribution, you're supporting terrorism! Think of the children!
