Red Hat Promises A More Vibrant Fedora

Posted by timothy on Sunday February 20, 2005 @02:50PM from the striking-a-balance dept.

loki99 points out a CNET story about the direction Red Hat's development has taken (and changes in the wind), writing "Michael Tiemann, vice president of Red Hat, admits that after exclusively concentrating on Red Hat Enterprise Linux in recent years, they left those 'early adopters' behind. 'It insulted some of our best supporters. But worse, we lost our opportunity to do customer-driven innovation.' Tiemann said." The recent Boston FUDcon (mentioned in the linked article) is one example of how the company wants to revitalize non-corporate interest.

Wow you must be using a very different version of Fedora Core 1 than the one I used. The one I tried left a lot to be desired.

He's rightfully saying RH can't theoretically give a flying fuck about Fedora.
The better Fedora gets, the less money they make (as users don't buy Enterprise Linux) - that's why it is the way it is - useless for enterprise use.
