Quite likely the latter. Red Hat has gone very corporate, and HQ is nothing but a cube farm. You'd have to sign an NDA just to see the server room (and once you've seen one, you've seen 'em all). I speak as someone who worked there for two years and things were already going away from the "goodness and wonder" when I got there. I did not post this reply to the list as some see my views as bitter rants rather than a representation of reality. I leave it as an exercise to the reader :) As I look at the blog mentioned in your signature, it occurs to me that I have seen you at the last two Ohio LinuxFests. I'm looking forward to going again this year for the 5th anniversary celebration. Should be quite a blast! -- - Kevin http://www.nivex.net/ -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
