Chastising!! I had no clue I was doing such a thing... I think Redhat is
doing a GREAT job in their efforts in making Linux the great OS it is... And
telling others just that fact. Even though I found out about Linux though a
friend (I was introduced to Slakware, not Redhat... That was much later). I
think the Redhat as a company was their "balance" on advertising verses a
good products... I fully agree with the quote (By Linus) I put on the bottom
of everyone of my E-Mails: "In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money
than it is at making a good OS - Linus Torvalds"... Redhat is both... the
advertising and the good (No... GREAT) OS... I just don't think Redhat
should spend money doing heavy advertising. People, no matter what a box,
picture, or ad will show, think Linux (Or Unix) HAS to be hard! That's why
Redhat's attendance at the conventions are a MUST! People need to seat
behind a Linux computer running X and a full word processing suite on the
screen while in the background its serving HTTP, FTP, TELNET, etc... (The
only thing it's missing is "Microsoft Bob" as another, very funny person
brought out :)
And just to completely clear the record... I think redhat is getting better
everyday in both advertising, and aiding a great OS!!
