Star Red Hat's Plans on the Desktop
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 17th Apr 2008 18:54 UTC
Red Hat Back in September 2003, when Red Hat discontinued its home-oriented Red Hat Linux desktop and offloaded that market to the community-driven but Red Hat-sponsored Fedora Project, many people were left wondering if Red Hat would ever again offer a product aimed at home desktops. We have the answer now.

Seems like it could be a bit of an attempt to take the edge off of Canonical's release. Hopefully, it was not on purpose.

It's not. One of Red Hat's favorite slogans is "A rising tide lifts all boats". They know who the enemy is. And it's not Canonical, Sun, or Apple. A successful Ubuntu is good for Red Hat's business. However, they are quite content to let Shuttleworth run the charity. Canonical needs to demonstrate that they can evolve from a charity into a successful *business*.

Open Message to all of Red Hat people :

Don't block the others who try , shut up on the subject

Open message to Moulinneuf: Get a clue and get a life.

Edit: BTW, I'm not really a "Red Hat" person. I use Fedora, Ubuntu, and CentOS in my consulting work, and usually it's the Fedora guys here beating up on me for pointing out where Ubuntu does things better.

Edit2: Thom, I seem to recall posting to defend Moulinneuf from someone who wanted to refer to him as "the french guy" a while back.
