Well. Have you visited his site yet? Have you seen the AMOUNT of tools
that he creates? He doesnt just make software that interacts with "each
other" he makes ALLLLLL kinds of software that will work on almost any unix
system, that work with countless other utilities.. (tcpserver springs, to
mind) and has to program for tons of other OS's. He's also pretty much a 1
man team, whereas redhat is a whole company. Your right, it's like
comparing apples to oranges - but DJB does deserve the respect that he
gets. Oh, i fergot to mention. Redhat makes money, DJB does not.
