Man, point out something about the attitude of Red Hat suport, and suddenly all the worms start crawling out of the wood work. I'm not AGAINST anything. I'm not against MicroSoft. I'm not against Linus Torvalds, I'm not against Windows. I'm not against Linux. I'm not against RH. I have seen the RH attitude complained about several times, and not just by me. MS also has an attitude. So, I'm supposed to accept the attitude of one company because another one ALSO has an attitude? MS has advantages RH doesn't have. So, like Avis (I think the car rental that ran those ads) they must "try harder". But they don't.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
