Spoken like someone who hasn't installed Red Hat in 8 years. Red Hat's Anaconda installer looks a lot like that even today in text mode. Unlike Debian, Red Hat doesn't care if their distribution runs on anything other than x86 so they can target making an X11 install that looks pretty.
Check your facts. Red Hat Enterprise Linux runs on i386, x86_64, itanium, ibm power, iSeries & pSeries. Fedora Core 4 is released for i386, x86_64 and ppc. Fedora Core is ported to sparc (aurora linux) and to alpha (alpha core).
It might be interesting to let them know that there are quite some people who don't like the idea of "buying a course" For example: mail them to ask the pricelist to buy a course:)
It's nice to discuss this subject on slashdot. It's very
nice if you support the EFF... but there's something
else you can do if you're from europe: your country
has representatitves in the European Parliament.
Let them know what you think! Their job is to
represent you and they can only do this if they know
what you think.
You can find the members of the European Parliament
on http://wwwdb.europarl.eu.int/ep5/owa/p_meps.short_ list Just choose a country and press on search. Most of them don''t have an emailaddress so you have to search a bit with google to get it.
There are also some lists on the internet, for example
here but they are not always complete and up to date.
The text says that there's no production-ready journaled filesystem yet for a free unix. I completely disagree with that. We use redhat linux on reiserfs on raid5 for some of our servers and it's MUCH better then normal ext2: no corrupt filesystems anymore, no 'enter root password for maintenance' when there's a fs problem anymore and it's much faster. Imho is reiserfs much more production-ready then ext2 or ufs.

The speeches are taped and will be put online but we can't guarantee that.
