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.

    Can they promise a non-bloated Fedora? And perhaps one that doesn't freeze on boot when I have my wireless USB mouse plugged in?

    Redhat have done and are still doing a lot for linux, but as a non-business linux user, I say they can get lost.

    Sorry to troll here, but you and the parent poster seemingly think that the words "then" and "than" are interchangeable.

    I've noticed this trend happening quite a lot lately, and for a pedantic limey such as myself it always manages to invoke feelings of psychotic rage. Well, almost :-)
