    Red Hat GAINED a much larger loyal user base in releasing Fedora than they EVER had with Red Hat Linux. Let's not try to paint events to match your hurt feelings (presuming that that's why you're upset, I could be wrong).

    Ok, let's just drop the deadrat discussion where it is ...

    About Proprietary Vs. Propietary, i know it's written Proprietary, but my native language is Spanish, and in Spanish it's "Propietario", without the "r", and, yes, it's a word that i use a lot, sadly, and so i usually write it in english the way it's written in spanish ... it's just stronger than me :)
