It's a shame. I can understand his point but it is a shame. I've always been a fan of RedHat but these statements are a step backward for linux. Why steer people away from linux? RedHat apparently has given up the battle for the "bonehead friendly" linux desktop. >From the perspective of having to support Joe Average using a linux workstation I was very impressed by the Ximian stuff I saw at that Novel sales presentation I went to last week. I could defiantly see supporting people useing that system, very simple very clean. I don't think I would use it myself but I believe a bonehead friendly desktop environment is very important to linux gaining widespread acceptance. Windows is a little bit more bonehead friendly but that will change. I can't blame RedHat for going where the money is right now (servers) but I believe is is short sited of RedHat steer people toward MS for the sake of not steering them toward competing linux distributions. my 2 cents. - Tom On Thu, 2003-11-20 at 01:34, Justin Kremer wrote: > http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-5101690.html > > Yeah, the company that in most peoples eyes IS linux (because they > don't know any better) is telling them that they should use Windows > instead. > > -- > Justin Kremer > <kremer at ringworld.org> > > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org > https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -- Tom Penney <blots at visi.com> _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
