You make me feel smug that I long ago gave up on Red Hat*.

-kb, the Kent who has been on Debian for a long time now.


* Why? Because they didn't want my business, I used to buy their boxed 
product regularly, specifically to support them, but they abandoned my 
part of the market. I played with a Red Hat clone for a while (White Box 
Linux), and at least one version of Fedora, but I gave up. I think the 
fact that RPM was so ornery was what finally sent me away. (Just 
installing "foo" and then trying to uninstall "foo" was always confusing 
to dim me, I seem to remember that the name I gave to the install 
wouldn't work for the uninstall. Grrr.)
