i have good and bad feelings toward redhat

1.the yearly subscription turns me off-got suse 8.2 on one rig, they never ask for yearly subscriptions

2.instead of just shutting down the red hat commerical desktop, why don,t they do like suse, charge for desktop version and no free downloads.would be better than no red hat 10.

3.i sort of go along with suse,s direction, sure its not free, but can a company provide a product with just free downloads, they would not be here tommorrow if they did that.

4. red hat was good distro to learn from , and look at the books-red hat bible, etc. whats going to happen here, no more books to learn from.

5. questions on if fedora will be offered as a commercial distro-doubt it with the release,s coming so often, and probably no books either

overall, just not to happy with red hat, and do i need a linux enterprise version to run desktop and subscription yearly charges?

What yearly subscription? Isn't that optional?

I'm sure there will be books, someone will surely write a book an anything that comes out.

Fedora is basically RedHat 9 and will soon be coming out with the 2.6 kernel. Unless I'm wrong you will be able to update it.

I just downloaded and installed Fedora. I updated it with up2date.

quess what bugs me is that red hat will not officially support the distro, that will be up to fedora project. also, from what i read, the fedora project distro,s will be buggy, and less stable. not a mature distro like you got from red hat commerical distros. its like buying a new car, do you want one that runs great, or one that has a bad carburator. am i not correct on this, or am i missing something.

We should really contribute to the existing threads that are discussing the Redhat ordeal: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=111881

We necessarily don't need the same discussion and concerns spread all over the forums.
