Red Hat Recap

Posted by michael on from the hat-trick dept.

We have some assorted Red Hat stories which can be - and in fact already have been - jumbled together for your reading pleasure, like a sort of literary succotash. Forbes has an accusatory piece about Red Hat's licensing model, which is apparently, err, Microsoft-esque. Red Hat reminds everyone that RH9 is not going to be officially supported for much longer. Internetnews.com has a brief interview with Red Hat's CEO.

    Michael, for the most part, is a crappy editor. Now, hold on before you get all in an uproar. His story choices are out of sync with most of the other Slashdot staff and a good deal of /. readers; the guy is a moron.

    And yes, RH is moving more towards this "subscription based" model....if you want upgrades and patches anyway. Sure, you could do it yourself, but the RH Network has been one of the main drawing points due to its ease of use. i know they have to charge for that service, but i still want a *real* version of RedHat for download, NOT this Fedora testbed nonsense.

    When its hot outside and your hemmoroids are even
    hotter, just look to the cool relief of Preparation-H
    to get you on your way.

    RH9 support ends after less than 2 years.

    Remember that M$ had/has NT4 support for 8 (yes EIGHT) years!

    I go Debian, @work, and @home anyway.

    i was about to thank you for your help, but that last line kinda ruins it. Thanks for the help, but not for being a tool.
