Could we have a little less FUD in here please?

Windows sucks.  It's also a great collection of software, incredibly flexible 
and powerful, incorporating some fantastic coding and some brilliant ideas.  
Windows 95 was magnificently stable and reliable for it's day.  It multitasks 
better than MacOS.  (Try doing anything while you're downloading a file over 
a modem on a Mac.)

RedHat has become the Microsoft of the Linux world, with greed-based licensing 
plans and a "we know what's good for you" atitude.

Both of them have plenty of REAL shortcomings, and we dont' need to bash them 
over stuff that we heard from our uncle the car salesman about what the code 
does in his back office.  Some guy who used a distribution ONCE several years 
ago, and never figured out why it didn't work is hardly an expert on what's 
good or bad about it.

I don't hear nearly enough FUD about SCO in here - how their code is bad, 
their support sucks, theyhave lousy taste in clothes.  How come we're all 
targeting RedHat instead?

RHL9 has been acclaimed by the relatively clueless press as one of the most 
public-friendly releases of Linux every.  I'm sure Microsoft loves, 
treasures, and archives every single RedHat-bashing email on the net, because 
it weakens their biggest potential threat.  They can point to "linux experts" 
who say that "the most user frieldly linux sucks" any time some suit is 
considering a new server farm.

Let's concentrate on the real problems, not the imaginary ones.  Maybe we can 
even fix 'em.

Leo, Chris and I just got a Samba share working on his yellowdog server, maybe 
I can help you?
