Redhat has a poor attitude towards opensource???? Uh yeah right! OK Redhat employs a lot of top kernel hackers, they release the source to all their products! RedHat is 100% opensource, sure they charge for support, but think of it this way, they fund Fedora, they support OSDL, they sponser a number of different opensource products. OK If you want examples of what they do for opensource:
- Fedora Core 1. - Release of all their source code including:
Anaconda, their configuration tools, eCos, etc There is nothing wrong with Redhat, there is nothing wrong with their product, I have always found RH easy to deploy and zero hassle, and the myth about RPM being crap is another issue, take apt away from Debian and just use DPKG you will have the same problem you have with RPM. Fedora have three automatic packaging systems include: apt, yum and up2date, not to mention that nearly every major distro uses RPM! So Please do not troll a company that has done more for opensource than a lot of others!
