HP To Sell And Support Red Hat Linux

Posted by timothy on from the howdy-pardner dept.

Dman33 writes "Redhat Linux seems to be gaining an even stronger share in the server and workstation market as HP is announcing worldwide sales and support of the popular distro. Infoworld has a writeup on the announcement and the press release straight from HP is a good read regarding the initiative."

    Red Hat, is that a brand of condoms?

    It's good to see Huge Penis (HP) supporting free (as in beer gets you laid) condoms.

    /. needs to start having a look like news.google.com... "5 hours ago, 2 hours ago", etc.

    I saw this at 8am CST this morning on news.google.com. Wondered how long it would take to get on the front page here.

    We are about to invade Iraq, and all we can talk about is who sells Red Hat and who uses Yellow Dog. I mean, there is a time and place for all things. But really, maybe we should all collectively tune in to CNN and keep track of the world around us as events unfold before our eyes. Good, bad, or indifferent, it's happening, it's big news, and we should keep track of the things that really matter.


    And while I don't exactly support the idea of preemptive attacks on pseudo-rogue nations that have no proven ability or desire to strike out at us or our allies currently, it's comforting to know that we have a military capable of neutralizing serious foreign threats.


    It would be even more comforting if we had a President who knew how to cooperate on the world stage, to use the tools of diplomacy and foreign policy to avoid the wars that put young men and women's lives on the line. These men and women of the same age group as the many Slashdot readers. Men and women with sons, daughters, mothers and fathers. We should support our troops as individuals, brave people willing to die defending their country and ideals, even if they, like us, don't always agree with the ideals or policies of our leaders.


    But at the same time, we can't forget that our President is a loose cannon, putting the stability and safety of our world on the line with a risky gamble, based on questionable evidence and questionable policies, that may lead us down the path to further war and conflict in other regions around the globe.

    I've been planning this for awhile - cyborg monkey's post was just the straw that broke the camel's back. It's so much nicer to troll than to try and think up some way to combine GNU/topic or misspell MS's name in less-than-creative ways. The trolls are the only real people here, but we all know that - 90% of the people here are running Windows, but won't admit to it because they're afraid michael or timothy might rape them next time they're at their local LUG gathering, and rightfully so. I know the people of slashdot are afraid, and it's up to trolls to set them free.

    Check the sale-foot-navigation category, which RMS insisted be called GNU/saleftnav. Second story from the page is from "morons.org". 'nuff said.

    Therefore, YOU FAILED IT, and I award your first post to the cunt from the clit.
