I really can't imagine how anyone plans to make content easier to buy than to pirate, when any kind of DRM is involved. Oh, unless you forget to add the part where you view the content... which it seems they did.
The story is inaccurate. The password that's left in cleartext is that of the first normal user created. That user has sudo access to become root. With something as serious as this, unless you don't have any Ubuntu installs, it's really best to read the article.
My laptop has been running dapper since the branch was opened. Before I got this laptop, my main computer was a desktop running Debian unstable (usually with all of experimental installed, too). I'm a last-semester senior in college (computer engineering) and work 20-40h/wk at the same time, for a sweet Linux company. If stuff breaks, I fix it - it's not impossible.
OK, I'm just being a punk, though. You can be safe. Just, do yourself a favor: use a stable release so you can separate out security updates. Don't wait a month for those.
This is not RHEL, and this is not Fedora. This is not GNOME at all. It's a completely different UI. There's no "bundled crap".
Also, Slack probably doesn't have engineers to throw at the project, paid. The other commercial distros might, but they're not participating for reasons I know nothing about.
That's not exactly what a co-op is, but it's very close. Co-ops work longer-term, and are usually paid better than interns. Interns at Red Hat work for just 13 weeks; I've been there for over 60. I just don't get the fat, rockstar co-op paycheck.;)
Irony for you: I chose this university because of its co-op program, but I'm at this job because they couldn't find me one, forcing me to bust my ass to find one myself - luckily for me, it was my absolute first-choice blue-sky "can I please please have this" job that I finally got.
I started out at Red Hat as a co-op last summer. Unfortunately 'co-op' means 'intern' to them for the most part, especially in terms of pay. But since then I've gained a serious amount of experience. And, well, I never left. I'm still working there now.:)
Red Hat (and probably Novell/SuSe, since they use over one thousand kernel patches) runs a myriad of tests on each of its own kernel builds nightly - and has been doing so for years. On more than just the 3 architectures covered by this test.
That said, pushing tests upstream is a great idea. Just not revolutionary or anything.

... which it seems like they may have done.

I don't have any of the supported devices. I do, however, have a laptop.
Seems to work fairly well for Red Hat, no?
No, you can't have a pony.

'iwlist scan' ?
Duh.
Oh, that was incorrect? Good, I'm glad. Now, would you care to elaborate?
Ever want to mix OpenGL and Composite on the same display? Not going to happen outside of Xgl.

If you haven't already, read Trusting Trust. Interesting, at least.
Upgrading via Anaconda is supposed to work.
sorry, I'm still waiting for my coffee to be done :(
Apparently you've never heard of a Linux distribution. Among other things, they QA shit. Maybe drop your LFS install and get a real distro?
True. er... your point?
Congratulations, you've won the prize. You've both decried and embodied problem you observed in a single post. Bravo.
How about leading by example? You might do a decent job.
divide by zero? what kind of crazy hacks did you put in that algorithm, boy? ;)

And there was no riot!
Hang on - when did Red Hat sell their soul to the Devil? Really, I want to know.
Red Hat employs an OpenOffice.org hacker.
Actually it is mostly a coincidence. It was supposed to be May 30 but had to be delayed by a week for various reasons. :)
