** end quote [Jon Fautley]
Don't get me started. I don't really consider Red Hat as a Linux vendor
anymore - or at least not for any customer that isn't looking for an
enterprise level support agreement to go with it anyway. If you're not
running on certified hardware then the Red Hat subscription only gets
you access to the package repositories, support have no interest and
actually suggest using Google or switching to Fedora.
I'll bite my tongue and stop there I think. My recent(ish) dealings with
Red Hat support and Red Hat installations were less than pleasant
unfortunately. At one point if you mentioned Linux Red Hat was *the*
name. These days I, personally, generally forget the exist.
Sorry Jon, no doubt you see a completely different side of things, I'm a
disillusioned ex-Red Hat user who became more disillusioned when he took
half a step towards being an ex-ex-Red Hat user! That said I wish I had
a day job that involved more Linux work than mine currently does :)
