The Fedora-Red Hat Crisis
jammag writes "When Linux journalist Bruce Byfield tried to dig for details about the security breach in Fedora's servers, a Red Hat publicist told him the official statement — written in non-informative corporate-speak — was all he would get. In the wake of Red Hat's tight-lipped handling of the breach, even Fedora's board was unhappy, as Byfield details. He concludes: 'If Red Hat, one of the epitomes of a successful FOSS-based business, can ignore FOSS when to do so is corporately convenient, then what chance do we have that other companies — especially publicly-traded ones — will act any better?'"
The Micropenis. I repeat, it is HORRIBLE! Don't say you weren't warned.
That's my penis, you insensitive clod!
"The problem with a lot of corporate Open Source is that they ignore the ethical foundation of Open Source. And eventually we find out that Open Source isn't quite as good without the ethics. "
That reminds me. Are we still giving Tivo the silent treatment?

I moved from Slackware to Redhat. When Fedora came I stopped using Linux for a long time. It was clear the motivation was commercial and not in the interests of the customer. These days if I run Linux it's mostly on VMWare. I've still got an old dual boot machine that runs a very very outdated version of Redhat but I've probably booted into Linux on that machine twice in the last 5 or 6 years. I plan on putting a more recent flavour of Linux on it when I've decided between Debian, Unbuntu, Fedora and CentOS. Guess which 2 are looking a lot less compelling to me.

Perhaps it's just me, but I'm not so sure egalitarian is better for a site like Slashdot. :P
