I was wondering what RH was trying to do when they released all that stuff to
Fedora and were advertising Fedora. I thought it was good will.... Well, I
guess it is sorta' good will. I mean, they released it because they had decided
that they didn't care and instead of leting it die they gave some other people
the chance to keep it alive.
I haven't tried Fedora, I have no knoledge about it but if it's like RH I'm sure
it's rock solid. Right now I'm happy with my little laptop running OS X, but,
from now on, I think Gentoo will suit my needs....
