Conversion to Linux

[Ty Unes]

I may be incorrect on this but, I have always thought that RedHat 
started their business to sell support for Linux, not necessarily their 
version of Linux. RedHat started with only one distribution, freely 
downloadable, and built their business on selling "official support" for 
that distribution.

At the time, I was running Slackware servers and will admit that I 
didn't really follow the reasoning behind Redhat's split into Fedora and 
RHEL. My guess was, without really following along, that RedHat decided 
to garner the cool system administration tools that made their 
distribution "enterprise ready" for themselves, and release and support 
Fedora freely onward.

If this is true, then I don't see why CentOS is in the wrong and/or 
hurting RHEL. Cent is not selling support for their distribution. 
Although, I've been to their website and read a bit. It IS kinda quirky 
how they refer to RedHat as "a prominent North American Enterprise Linux 
vendor." Almost like they feel like they are stealing.
