Has anyone heard the rumors about Red Hat Splitting the Personal versions to
a new sub company and new product name ? Here is the text of the message is
received from the SuSE users group,
"Redhat announced that they are discontinuing the consumer version (used to
be called Redhat Linux). They are planning to provide support and
assistance to the Fedora project but it will not be a branded by Redhat.
They've stated that the Fedora version will be for hobbists and enthusiasts.
It will have a very short life cycle and will contain bleeding edge package
releases. If you want a "business" release then you have to pay for their
enterprise versions.
In other words, if you wanted a branded stable solid release (used to be
Redhat Linux) that was suitable for SOHO or equivalent at a low cost (even
$0), well, Redhat no longer provides this.
This has resulted in a huge debate on the RH mailing lists. Many are
stating that they're going to be moving to SuSE or at least seriously
considering SuSE."
