FUD

Spreading FUD about a distribution you don't know anyting about is doing a 
disservice to the list as well, I was just trying to clear that up.  I'm no 
distribution crusader - anybody who's actually followed my posts knows that. 
 
Yeah, it's cool among a certain cap-worn-backward crowd to dis RedHat because 
they're the most successful business distributing Linux, but it's stupid to 
spread FUD when RedHat is actually a good solution for lots of users. 
 
If someone has a real gripe with RedHat, we can help them understand or fix it 
- there's not much that you can't do in Linux using it as a base.  Just to 
gripe that it's a bad distribution, especially if you're not current on using 
it, is just as bad as what Microsoft does, and it only helps Microsoft, not 
the list.
