What fills the void left by the abandonment of the consumer version of Red Hat Linux? What can an end user short of funds, or a non-profit organization turn to now that "free Red Hat Linux" isn't around anymore? I'd submit that for a more "stable" environment than Fedora, SuSE Linux, Mandriva, Ubuntu, or even Debian (assuming their new release schedules work out) fill that void and meet that need for a Linux system that's stable, tested, with a longer release cycle than every 4 months. If you *really* want to run "Red Hat Linux for free" then you should (IMO) be turning to Fedora Linux. -- Chris "I trust the Democrats to take away my money, which I can afford.
