Fred... this is NOT an advocacy group. It is a support mailing list. If you want to do some advocacy, take it into the correct usenet newsgroup, comp.os.linux.advocacy
I don't see advocacy. From what I've seen, he usually sets up with a paragraph or two of background text, and then gives us the URL. The ones that I've read (several) have been news pieces that constitute a 'progress report' on how Linux is doing in the big wide world. I find them encouraging, generally, and I venture to suggest that any seeming bias toward more frequent mention of RH is just because of current market reality. Sure, it would be nice if the majority of success/inroads pieces mentioned SuSE, but that's not Fred's fault. And they are marked OT. I, for one, am not offended or inconvenienced. Yeah, I know it wasn't a poll. :-) /kevin
