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.
Maybe this is very innocent, but they seem to have taken a solid, stable program from a high-profile Frenchman and looked for ways to marry it with GitHub, i.e. Microsoft/NSA
People leak a lot of material to Techrights because they know, based on the track record, that the sources will be protected and whatever gets published will stay online, in full, no matter how stubborn an effort (even lawsuits and blackmail) will be sent its way
