$DIETY let me be an that kind of trouble. I'd gladly suffer with massive income and long term stability. Hell, I'm lucky if I can pay the rent each month.


Side rant:

I have been involved with Linux longer than almost anyone out there. I started in November of 1991. I'm not a kernel hacker or community personality. I'm just a schlub trying to make it from one day to the next. Linux, and open source, have given me the chance to make a meager living. Over the years I've seen all kinds of thing come and go. I've seen paths taken that ended up being brilliant and others that resulted in spectacular crash-and-burns. As such I just don't understand why some people are getting so bent over such little things. Red Hat as a company is working their way through the proverbial forest and so far they haven't done that bad. But in the end they will either survive and prosper or they won't. All of the things they have contributed to Linux will still be there and Linux itself will continue to go on. Why make everything so personal?
