i do pay for rhel. i made the mistake of converting to centos. damage is done. on the next major upgrade, i will return to rhel and will not professionally recommend centos either privately,personally, or in the realm of a business. thanks for seeing my side of the issue and not jumping on the elite bandwagon. i am done.
No wonder you were banned on #irc. I personally am more than happy to wait. I came here from Whitebox linux, and it is even slower there. One person is doing what the entire team is doing here. I also know that if I am in that big of a hurry, I can down the src rpms and start building... But I won't.
Johnny, Karanbir, Russ, Seth, Dag, Jim, Donavan, and every one else on the team that I most surely missed... You do a bang up job, and our thanks go to your tireless and mostly unpaid contributions to this project! If I have to wait a week or a month for a new release... so be it. The security updates are what is most important, and those come very quickly.
I second that!
I totally agree
I am the sysadmin for a *very* small company which we operate in the free time outside of our normal jobs as addiction medics. Our profit levels are so low that we cannot justify a RH support contract *because* CentOS exists.
Of all the *many* mailing-lists that i am on i find the CentOS (and the linux-poweredge list from Dell) to be the most polite and informative.
If i ever get to deploy my parachute and exit the NHS then i am really looking forward to lurking on the irc chans as well (pesky NHS firewall and aup).
Our production server will be installed into NHS Lothian's network once 5.2 comes out and i am *more* than happy with the "It'll be done when it's done" answer.
Thanks again for all the work that you guys do!
