Also of interest -- there are several projects that will be taking the RHEL SRPMS and rebuilding them to make a redistributable version of the OS. I wonder how successful these will end up being.
Packaging of RHEL 3 has been pretty easy with less than half a dozen exceptions. Stripping all the RHAT references may be the bigger challenge.
There are also projects out there that seek to have a similar market as RHEL but completely community developed/supported.
This is very exciting. Those who don't like/want the support offerings of RHAT will have several viable RPM-based alternatives soon. Choice is a good thing.
