I personally do not mind constructive critizm, what I have the problem with is people are basing thier opinions of Red Hat on Slashdot comments. This is why so much FUD, nobody has the facts and are going off other peoples emotional rants. This is very bad for people who write papers they will be remembered by many as the ones who do not research which makes them a terrible source of information.
As a long time Red Hat user I've mostly given up posting facts. I've posted 'facts' in nearly every FUD article I read, but apparently everyone pretends not to hear it. Many think this is thier 'in' to grab RH customers and do not want facts getting in the way of thier religious push to be #1
At one point recently RH was trading at $23 a share, just a few bucks short of M$ (yes I know what a stocksplit is) but it's still a very significant number for a Linux distro. And the community is scared to death of having Red Hat == Linux which I don't think to be warrented. Red Hat is debian with a bank account they _love_ OSS.
