OK, Guess what .... RH9 is the last Redhat distro to be released. At least as a free OS.
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,4149,1371164,00.asp For the article. After next summer they will no longer support or release patches for RH. Everything has moved to the Fedora project from there forward. Hmmm. I'm wondering if that smell I'm smelling is gunpowder and toe jam. There strength in the US has always been Word of Mouth advertising. If they chose to move out of the community as a brand I suspect that they will either have to create an advertising dept/budget or face the loss of brand recognition. The first one affects profits directly. The second more subtly. An interesting position. Kinda GM like. "We've been selling those brands for 20 years and everyone knows them, lets drop the brand lines and stop advertising". (this was done to the Oldsmobile line btw.) *Sigh* sounds like the marketing experts are at it again. James
