Yes but there is linux and there is linux - redhat is a commercial operating system with a full support model - you can always go the fedora route if you want to browse the bazaar. Actually many people only take the first year support from redhat - after that there is plenty of bazaar activity for redhat so you can go ahead and update many parts. The difficulty then would be updating the kernel, you may as well then go the fedora route at that point - or subscribe to the latest redhat, or take your pick of linux distro

Few people will admit that a decade ago they dumped a commercial OS like Sun, SCO, AIX, or Windows precisely because Linux was Free, and separately Open Source. "Somehow" because of those factors, the idea was that we would never again have to suffer the whims of the cathedral, as the bazaar would provide in bounty all the code changes required for the common good and of all. Yeah right. ROFL _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ----- No virus found in this message.
