Donnie is the most abrasive member of the redhat team. He deals with
people in about the same way that Dan does. I would have supposed
that they were a match made in heaven.

ObCuriousity: Relative to what? IMO redhat, debian, freebsd, etc are
all pretty much neck-and-neck for installation, redhat and debian are
way ahead for upgrading, and no commercial unix vendor comes close to
any of these groups for maintenance. Where do you see them falling
down?

He's also producing a small set of utilities that interact with each
other (doing it very well, too - no disagreement there). Comparing
the scope and complexity of Dan's projects to an OS vendors mission is
apples and oranges.
