Redhat vs. Fedora Core

Numbers21

hey y'all, just wanted your opinion on Redhat and Fedora Core... i'm a redhat fan, and have been since 6.2... needless to say I didn't like it much when redhat "sold out" to fedora, and said they were only going to continue to produce the Advanced Server, etc... what's your opinion on it, i've not gotten a chance to play around with Fedora core (well... i played with all the betas) because the full version won't install on my machine, so what do y'all think of it?

Q

I've used RH9, it was a good system. I'll try FC1, but I"ll have to DL the ISOs and make a new VM.

I'm currently running Fedora on one of my many systems. Its a great Linux distro. It runs a bit slower then RH9 but if you have a powerful PC and if your a RH fan I would advise you get Fedora.

face it man, redhat sold out, they had a great product, a powerful linux distro that was easy enough for an ordinary pc user... and they gave developemental control to another company... that to me is selling out...

TCPMeta

Its not really selling out, Its opensource theres already to many hands in the cookie jar in the Linux Distro world. All what RH is doing is they're sharing code with a diffrent company.

I remember hearing about when Linux came out, there was no distros. You compiled the Linux Kernel with a few tools from GNU and walla. Overtime X-Windows came out and tons of software and before you knew it you had company making premade distros of Linux and tossing in tons of programs with it so you wouldn't have to sit there jumping to web site to website to get a complete Linux OS.

I have read the fedora core wepage, and i'm very familiar with it, i like redhat, i liked what they were doing, i supported them by buying the software, and their merchandise, if you don't like my termonology "sold out" then ignore it, but in my opinion, redhat sold out... sharing code is one thing... if they'd have continued to produce their distro (and yes i know they are still doing the enterprise linux stuff) and shared the code with fedora, so fedora could do the cutting/bleeding edge stuff, and left their distro being the stable, tested version, i'd have no problems with it, but i don't like change, therefore i'd've prefered if redhat would've stayed redhat... sorry if it pissed you off man... but in my opionion... they sold out

Is Fedora simpler than RH9?

Is RH9 one of the more or less complicated distros?

Slackware was interesting, and I couldn't install SuSE.

Find a different distro like Gentoo

Bash

Many people have different tastes, som people look for challenges, some just want n easy OS to configure/use, some look for compatibility, and others may just want one distro of linux which is an easy server.

IBMWarpster

Yeah but some distros arent so great as others.

Great is only a matter of opinion.
