First Look at RHEL 5 - From the New, More Open Red Hat
Susie D writes "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 was released today, and Linux Format has an in-depth first look (with screenshots aplenty). With RHEL 5, Red Hat aims to become even more 'open', by using a shorter and clearer SLA, improving community involvement through its Knowledge Base, and providing the new Red Hat Exchange. But what you really want to know is, yes, it does include XGL for fancy 3D desktop effects."
3D desktop effects? WHY do i need that? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO BUY A NEW VIDEO CARD FOR SOME GAY NEW OS?!!?!?
ITS A FUCKING SCAM AND I'M ANGRY
oh wait, I thought you said vista
LINUX IS ASOME! not as good as apples or google but its still pretty good!
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
It was free. So, huddle around children because I'm going to talk about a story of how SCO changed the landscape of Linux. . .
For all your clever wittiness, you're a complete fucking moron, aren't you?
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
But who's actually foolish enough to use RHEL for a desktop OS? What's the benefit, support? You can get support for less retarded distributions (those, for example, which eschew rpm.) Unless you're getting the licenses for free, using RHEL on your desktops is a huge mistake.

Not really. Nothing wrong with being a starving student. But being too thick to realize that there is a whole world outside the hobbiest/student demographic is kinda lame.
And wouldn't want to give the impression even that a student running Gentoo is less important than a corporate install. After all, the Gentoo users at least exercise the portability of a lot of packages that wouldn't otherside get it. There probably aren't two Gentoo build/install environments exactly alike.
