THE developer of GNote [1-6], who has worked for Novell until recently, is moving to Fedora.
I bit the bullet and installed Fedora 11-BETA on my only machine, to replace openSUSE 11.1. Let's see how it goes. I don't think there will be any big issue.
"When former Novell engineers voluntarily embrace Red Hat, then it’s rather telling."
Not really - Redhat is nice - particularly if you're a developer. And they're both rpm based - and specifically, not debian based. Debian based distro's are kind of crap if you've used anything else - particularly if you're a developer.
I tried Ubuntu after leaving Novell (and gave it more than one chance), but that sucked a lot, so i was happy to be back to Redhat again when I finally did it. What a surprise it is that man pages actually work; for instance.
At times it seems like what we deal with are many weak patents (on algorithms), valuations or speculations based on hype ("hey hi"), and stocks held by Microsoft and its own staff
As noted a few days ago, several times in fact, many people now recognise the importance of the FSF's mission, even if most people don't know what the FSF is
