“This is one motivating agent for me to keep using Fedora.”įedora is one of the distros i used in the past i cant say it was a pleasure.

I’m sure they support some of the open source software i use. I do respect the fact that they give back their work but i don’t use linux but i might benefit from it anyways who knows. And ultimately everybody wins because you benefit from it, either directly (from Fedora) or indirectly (i.e.

“Where Red Hat really shines is in how to make business out of sharing their work. You show it in your own postīut i did’nt flame RH intentionel and i did mention that i wasnt out to start anything but i asked because i did’nt know. It’s very easy to flame a company if you don’t like it.

Wanting a free world is an interest for example. “Now it’s easy to flame Red Hat by saying it’s all about interests, but IMMO (In My Moderate Opinion) who doesn’t has interests? People always have interests. What do they give to other projects.? Please do give me some exsamples. What do you get from it as a non customer or non affiliate to Red Hat? You get their contributions to the Linux Kernel and other OSS projects.” “It basically shows how to make an IT company survive from Open Source in a capitalist world. I won’t even talk about Microsuffer here – the most obvious opposite of Red Hat. Now, if you care about corporate ethics and their relation with companies related to OSS (Novell, Mandriva, Linspire, even Ubuntu) I invite you to take investigate about how they work, what they give and what they take back. This is one motivating agent for me to keep using Fedora. Where Red Hat really shines is in how to make business out of sharing their work.

It basically shows how to make an IT company survive from Open Source in a capitalist world. Good luck and good work for all the Fedora developers! Now, I can’t wait for Fedora 7 to come out and put my hands on it – I can say with confidence that after messing with other mainstream distros (Suse, Mandriva, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Zenwalk, Vector) Fedora is and will be my distro of choice. You even have CentOS and other examples that show we’re not exactly dealing with evil here.Īs for Ubuntu, though it’s not my prefered distro, I can’t say more than congratulate the project for advancing Linux into user friendliness and novice accessibility! I really want to put emphasis on boot time, since I and others can’t get suspend working properly on my laptop and I hate to leave it on (think about wasted energy and global warming).īy the way, to those who call Fedora the RH guinea pig, let me just say that I don’t understand why think like this when RH is actually good for the OSS community (lots of contributions) and is actually a decent company that is a reference in how to make proper business out of Open Source. I’m currently testing Ubuntu 7.04 and I can only say that the only thing better than Fedora is boot time – it’s at minimal decent speed. Package management is also no more of a issue to me – YUM is now fast and reliable on the command line, though the graphical management for it still sucks because it doesn’t give proper feedback when managing big transactions – another area for improvement, though not crucial IMO. My only problem with Fedora is definitely boot time. Put simply, since FC5 I never had any stability problems. SELinux, native firewall configuration UI, real kernel updates, good availability of packages.
