Red Hat Promises A More Vibrant Fedora

Posted by timothy on 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.

    Wouldn't a FUDCon be more up SCO's alley?

    Vibrantly.

    Try DSL.
    DSL probably won't support your fancy mouse, but you might as well give it a go.

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - counterculture writer Hunter S. Thompson, was found dead in his Pitkin County home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    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.
