Hi, We are independent consultants currently undertaking a study of satisfaction among end-users of Open Source Software, notably Tomcat, for a company which has asked us for recommendations in terms of deploying policy for such systems. I was hoping to set up a quick (5 minute) telephone interview with yourself or the appropriate person to discuss your experience with this product to date.
Please feel free to telephone me anytime, or reply to this e-mail indicating an appropriate time/person for me to recall. Thanks for your gracious attention to this request!

Hmmm. Does tomcat suck? Nope. Does Apache suck? nope. What about Castor from Exolab? Nope. That's been my point and I'm sticking to it. What about many other open source projects? What about Netbeans? I can't see the argument for how the Fedora project vs. RH8 or 9 methodology equates to lack of patches, poor work, and an overall bad experience. How about Debian? It is in the same type of arena as Fedora. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are the same type of projects. Check out http://fedora.redhat.com. They have release cycles like most good projects. They have nice sub projects. Leads for the different areas. Seems like a good layout. Am I missing something here? I don't know. But, lets go to the red hat list for this one. We've been having this debate for the past couple of months on that list. Anyways, that's my point. I think I've rambled on long enough. I like RH, SuSE, Slackware, Debian, and a few others. I think RH rocks. Looking forward to Fedora. :-) Wade -----Original Message----- From: John Corrigan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 4:49 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Linux Distribution There is always Debian. One of the reasons I switched to Debian was how easy it is to stay current with patches. -----Original Message----- From: Yansheng Lin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 12:00 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Linux Distribution Will they still give out patches promptly for fedora? I doubt it though.... How's freeBSD or openBSD? -----Original Message----- From: Wade Chandler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: November 4, 2003 5:44 AM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Linux Distribution Actually Red Hat isn't just dropping their free distro. They are moving to a model closer to the model you see right here. http://fedora.redhat.com Why not just use that? You are used to the Red Hat setup (I guess). SuSE is a good distro. You could also use Debian, but you'll find Red Hat and SuSE more commercially supported. Depends on what you need I guess. You can still download Fedora for free (all ISO's). Their new model is a good thing. Red Hat developers working with the rest of the open source community. Awesome. They're more open.

Redhat doesn't offer anymore free patches for Redhat anterior to version 9. Free Patches for Redhat 9.0 will stop on 30 avril. We are thinking about choosing another distribution. What distribution do u use actually and which one would u choose instead of Redhat ?
