Red Hat The CentOS project, the Linux distribution aimed at the enterprise built from Red Hat's freely available source code, has hit a significant bump in the road: the project's main administrator, Lance Davis, has gone missing-in-action. This is kind of a problem as Davis is the sole administrator fo the CentOS.org domain, the IRC channels - and the CentOS funds.

If they left the tools behind, I'd LOVE that.

For once I could pay cost of parts and not get raped by 1.) Needing Special tools I don't have / can't afford
and
2.) Outrageous Labor charges based on billable hours inflated three-fold listed in a book.

I know good mechanics that do 20 billable hours in an 8 hour day.

Sadly, in the case of CentOS, it seems some of the tools are missing, and the shop has no power on ;)

So you might be better off taking a copy of the service manual and going elsewhere if things don't improve...

GPL question. Can they take the code and bring up CentOS.net or .info whatever and start new forums say "ahh darn it" to the 1 time lost funds, start new funds? Then change all the .org references in the code and call it good? Keep the logos etc?
