not sure about es as learning for red hat cert, i would think it would be in line with red hats learning curve. might see what they require with there online services

i have linux rute downloaded in pdf form, it states in the book if you learn everything in it, you can pass the red hat cerification.

it does indeed get into linux

Thank you for valuable answer, ronss!

This is really shocking news. I don't mind RH not giving support to their desktop products, but to drop all future releases is really shocking. Does it mean that RH 9 is the last of the series as far as desktop version goes?

If you still want to run redhat enterprise for free, u can. Its called Whitebox linux. http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/

Hope this helps, btw if anyone installs this tell me how they like it. I am still downloading it through bittorrent...

I totally agree with trickykid...

by dropping support this means no security fixes, no up2date no erratta (sp?) no nothing. so to not care about support being dropped means that u kinda dont care for security warnings from red hat and fixes and things. support means more than just being able to ask them about a problem u are having and them emailing u a response.

I still can't believe that this thread is running! I have been running Fedora now (what WOULD have been RH10) since November 5 (the day it was released) without problems, FULL support from the Fedora team, Up2Date, Apt-get, SECURITY updates, etc., etc., etc! The ONLY thing different is that it's not a COMMERCIAL PRODUCT and that RED HAT's COMMERCIAL BUSINESS is not OFFICIALLY supporting it (like in don't complain to them). In fact, it is not only a GREAT distribution, it IS fully supported, working well, and considerably updated from RH9. It's supported by the Fedora Project crew which is SPONSERED by Red Hat. Could that be any simpler?

Just TRY it if you want, or don't if you want. But this thread has really burned out it's usefulness at this point. Geeez, they are ready to come out with the first test version of Fedora 2 in a few weeks! So, the "shock" is over....and nothing has really changed, except for the BETTER. Remember PAYING for RHN? The support for Fedora is totally FREE...and it IS support (patches, fixes, etc.)....so stop complaining, OK?

Complain all you want folks! It's nice and healthy to get it out of your system. LOL

And, complain that the thread has run too long as well if that suits you.

Ok, don't try Fedora.

See if I care.

Well, OK...I guess I went over the top....LET'S COMPLAIN!!!!! Hey, I woke up
early and was in a bad mood. But I feel much better now! Try Fedora, Don't try it,
Like it, Hate it....Dump it, embrace it....whatever. The really COOL thing is....how
many distro's out there now? HUNDREDS! There has GOT to be something for
EVERYONE!!!! College Linux for a Slack-type mean machine? Fedora for a slow,
lumbering, but jam packed and flexible system? Mandrake for the "everyone"
out there....SuSE for the masses and enterprise....Slack for the purist. I mean,
this thing is really great...and who isn't having fun when they aren't pulling their
hair trying to get something to work.....but ONCE IT'S WORKING...IT WORKS!

I'm off subject now, but I had a cup of coffee and I'm out of control....so I'll shut up.

The main thing is, if it's not broke keep fixing it until it is.

go fedora! great for newbies (me being one myself) the only problems that ive had have something to do with ALSA and linux support in general

I am having a problem setting up a network printer on Fedora 14.

In that case you should start a new thread, with info about your printer (manufacturer/model) and your distribution. Also please include what you have already tried and where the problems are.
