Dell Calls For Red Hat To Lower Prices
VaultX points to an article on CNET (linked below), writing "According to Dell, Red Hat needs to lower pricing. 'We believe Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, for the small and medium-sized business market, was out of the price range of these customers.' With Dell's strong presence in the Linux server market, Red Hat may want to listen."
Time Warp? WTF?

Guess what, the OpenSSH core developers won't discuss the issue in public either. The cipher in question was put in the OpenSSH source code with no discussion on the developers list and is the only cipher that is not mentioned anywhere in any OpenSSH documentation. There were several people asking why the cipher in question is in OpenSSH. The answer: silence.
The OpenSSH core developers don't want to discuss the issue with Red Hat; they want to dictate terms, make a political statement, and stir up trouble for those they disagree with.
Getting into a long drawn out opinion fest with Theo De Raadt seems like great fun.

Sounds like fanboi ranting to me.
You could do what most people do when they order for a large company: Purchase your license through your hardware vendor.
That's what I've done for my SUSE cluster from IBM and my RHEL workstations from HP. And they both provide support at the OS level as well.
It's not rocket science.
Wow. That's sad.
I wasn't previously aware that Theo de Raadt was an idiot. Or five years old. Or both.
My faith in OpenSSH/BSD developers, and subsequently, the projects, just took a big blow.
How come people obviously so talented in some things can be so stupid on others that they end up looking totally retarded?
