What do you mean by "OS gets buggy"???? This is _such_ a Windows-statement!!!! Are you aware of the way Linus and the other core Linux developers have tried to make sure that the Linux codebase doesn't get forked and go the way of the BSD effort? And what is this about rushing new releases to the market?? IIRC, it took about 113 developer releases and 2.25 years between the release of the 2.0 and the 2.2 kernels. Equating third-party tools/apps with the OS (the kernel) is lameness/cluelessness of the highest order. About the statement -- "So solutions to any problems in RH will be provided quickly than others because of its commercialisation"... This is so _wrong_ ! Lets just say that that's not the way things work out in the Linux world. Please RTFM (docs as well for that matter) before posting such gobbledegook. Cheers, --Indra. PS. To all: As Linux users and members of an LUG, it is our duty and responsibility to present Linux and its different distros to non-users and new users of Linux. A lot depends on what we say (or don't say)....after all we are responsible for introducing or bringing many people in touch with Linux for the first time. This is a heavy responsibility -- advocating Linux is good, but make sure what you say to people is correct. For FUD and misinformation about linux we can always depend on our dear, old Bill G and his MS fiefdom. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
