Red Hat Linux Project Merges With Fedora
An anonymous reader writes "Red Hat has announced a merger of its Red Hat Linux Project with Fedora Linux, a group that has specialized in providing high-quality RPM packages for Red Hat. According to Red Hat, 'The Fedora Project is a Red-Hat-sponsored and community-supported open source project. It is also a proving ground for new technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat products.' From the FAQ: 'Rather than being run through product management as something that has to appear on retail shelves on a certain date, Fedora Core will be released based on schedules, set by a steering committee, that will be open and accessible to the community, as well as influenced by the community.'"
Why Fedora? Why not sombrero or chapeaux? Why pick something associated with the mob?
..."hats off" to these guys.

That was a pathetic attempt at a troll. In order for such a troll to work, the post must be long enough for the moderators' eyes to glaze over and possibly miss the "easter egg". You are a dismal failure.

I admit, I've lost my passion for trolling. It's just too easy, like throwing eggs at a schoolbus full of retarded children.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
I tried Red Hat Linux Severn yesterday, I had some terrible problems with it. I had bought a 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 Box to replace my old 68K based imac with MacOS 6.8 running photoshop 3.1
I am a graphics designer which has to do special effectds for a holiday brocure, working on large (6400x5000 pixels) photos.
I downloaded the Gimp version 1.3.21 because of the newly added CMYK support, which meant i could finally use it. But it was SLOW! It took about 15 minutes to apply a solar flare effect on a phot, and it took several minutes for the other effects too. The old mac couuld do it in about 60 seconds max.
It wasn't just gimp. KDE 3.1 took 2 minutes to load, and the nautilus file manager took 20 minutes to copy a 17Mb image file to my floppy drive, while the old mac only took two.
I would like to switch to Linux, but unless it can make some serious speed ups, I may sell the pentium box and go and buy the Dual G5 with OSX panther when it comes out.
"Rather than being run through product management as something that has to appear on retail shelves on a certain date, Fedora Core will be released based on schedules"
So instead of basing it off dates, they'll base it off dates! Ah, well in THAT case...
It sounds like you want Red Hat Obsolete Enterprise Linux, and they'll be happy to sell it to you.
This problem, however, is beyond the control of Red Hat or any other distro.
Yeah, its a shame, too. If only there was a license that would allow people to see the source then modify/redistribute it as they see fit.....

The product is so underdone it's still cold, and you get sick if you eat it?

Umm, Control-F makes bold text in the swedish version of MS Office, and starts a search in just about every other application. They can't even get it right within their own set of applications.
Um, hello? That's the Swedish version.
So, you can complain all you like about how crappy the Linux desktop is, but I have actual proof that at least one fairly computer ilitterate person prefers GNOME before Windows.
Wow. I'm convinced now.

It's that time again, folks, since it's apparently a "no-brainer" now to choose Gentoo over Red Hat (or any other distro). Yes, it's time for another link to... the Amazing Gentoo-Linux-Zealot Translate-o-matic!

So that's why tallyho's NTPd was broken this morning ;)
