That would have been like trying to plug holes in the rotting hull of a ship one at a time, rather than scrapping the whole thing and building a new one. It might take longer, but in the long run, it's the best solution.
I'm pretty sure they're gonna have the firewall be a kernel module. What kind of license can they apply to it? I'm not sure that you can distribute kernel modules without some kind of GPL
Yes, you can. Linus made an exception for loadable modules - you can make them any license you want.
How is this at all related to Linux, let alone the Linux Community?
It's a crack. Cracks happen all the time, regardless of the OS you're on. This has nothing to do with the Cathedral and/or the Bazzar. Really, how are software cracks and open source development related? Other than the latter making the former unessecary?
"There is no question they can price themselves out of that market, which would easily look to alternative [operating systems], like Linux and Unix,"
I find it rather ironic that Unix is now considered by some to be an 'alternative operating system'. NT used to position itself as the alternative to Unix, didn't it?[1]

Redhat is a publically traded corporation. Everything they do is mandated by an obligation to increase thier stock price (via the omnipresesnt threat of shareholder lawsuits, which is very real).
Therefore - how will this group help RedHat increase thier stock price?
Probably just a marketing move. Probably to combat the impending popularity of SuSE by trying to increase thier mindshare. After all, when some web based 'content generator' (I don't call them journalists any more, for lack of anything resembling journalism) wants to whip up an article on Open Source/Linux, what better person to talk to than a group of Open Source 'experts', comprised of industry leaders.
It's all just marketing. What are they going to produce for the community, other than a bunch of interviews for lazy reporters.
Let me understand this - in order to provide *community* focus, for free *liberated* software, we need a corporate sponsored group consisting of representatives from companies (Sun, MS) that have done thier damndest to enslave and bind thier users to thier corporate vision.
Sorry, I think that Debian, FSF and SPI are *much*, *much* better at demonstrating what Open Source is and means to the public than a corporate sponsored think tank would ever be.
How can publically traded corporations really be honest when they try to promote a philosophy of software that is so opposed to thier way of doing buisness?
How could you accomplish anything if you only work to undermine something else.

I'm not saying sendmail is a bad program because of that but I do think its a major part which could be changed in order to make it a little more userfriendly.
Being an end user I really saw no need to use a full blown mailserver which is capable to support a company with over 2000 employees
Sendmail is not about 'positive user experience'. It's about dealing with mail. Those who actually have to deal with sendmail (i.e. Unix network admins) are likely not too concerned about how much of a positive user experience they're getting from thier config files. They're most likely worried about whether or not Mr. Dumbass Veepee will be able to send mail.
In related news, has anyone heard about the Christian first-person-shooter game that's hitting stores this week? There was a story in the NY Times about it the other day. It sounds like a dumb idea, but then, so did "Deer Hunter" and look at how well that's done.
Man, that looks as bad as Stryper[1].
[1] For those who don't remember (or don't want to remember), Stryper was a cock-rock Christian Metal band in the 80s. Listening to some of thier stuff is physically painful.
Anyway, the q3a is already being used for Star Trek : Voyager 3l33t SomethingOrOther and Heavy Metal : FAKK2, neither of which look like intense multiplayer games.

2. I can buy a CD-R disk for around $20 bucks.
Don't you mean 'I can buy 20 CD-R disks', or 'I can buy 4 CD-RW disks', or 'I can buy a DVD-R(AM) disk' ?
If you're seriously paying that for a single CD-R disk, I have some bad news for you...
