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.

"No, I'll call a local IT support shop who can fix the OS that I paid for from his store and it will be fixed in a few hours at a reasonable price."


Dude, what planet are you from? Do you think that if you have a problem with Windows, I mean a real bug, that your local shop will be able to do ANYTHING about it? You think Microsoft just gives out its source code to whoever? You will be at the mercy of waiting for Microsoft to fix it. It might be quick. Then again, like the last IE bug, it might take a year. If its just a hardware failure or user glitch, I am sure your local shop can help you. After all, if they are worth their salt, they will have someone who is linux trained. I think I am glad you don't use Linux....you deserve Windows.
