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.
One of our readers is working to help GNU through the maze of software patents and maze of patent lawsuits, which aren't the same thing but are somewhat overlapping issues
Microsoft-connected patent trolls in Europe [...] Now, in his new job, Wild can use his 'expertise' to help guide blackmail/extortion to better harm Europe's industry
We'll soon (maybe next year) also show that some of the 85+ KG of legal papers sent our way are computer-generated garbage, which might run afoul of some rules
