I just recently set up a machine with RedHat and really love it! I've been using Windows for quite some time but now I am thinking of how I could do everything on Linux. I love the idea of Open Source and the community that surrounds it. I was ready to pay for RedHat even though I downloaded the ISOs for free but with this new move by RedHat I might just try out Mandrake or SuSe. It seems contrary, in my view, to the fundamental ideals of the Linux community. Also, I really don't understand why they wouldn't want to encourage Windows users to switch...is it because they fear Microsoft's wrath? A bully on the Linux turf fears an even bigger bully?
