  1. RedHat's Asian efforts... by jkrise · · Score: 3, Informative

    can be summarised as:
    1. Providing RHCE certfication exams, and certs.
    2. Poor or no mirrors for downloading distros.
    3. Little or no support offerings for their products.
    4. Few relationshipd with h/w vendors that matter in Asia.

    Only the last is being addressed here. Even little known firms like Turbo Linux have a huge base in Asia, by virtue of having strong support base and relationships.
