Taken altogether, that amounts to a lot of momentum moving toward Redhat, possibly at the expense of all the other distros. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? If it's a bad thing, what can/should be done about it?
It's not a bad thing that there is alot of movement toward Redhat. It's better than keeping everyone locked into Windows. At least it is going to make unix programming more popular and reduce the Microsoft monopoly. Think of all the people who will be able to learn about shell scripts,perl,c, and X windows. Suse is more popular in Europe, and eventually the European and African market may become more important than the US market. If the big companies start promoting their software as Redhat RPM's, we will still be able to use the source RPM's. Which is probably a wiser thing to do anyways. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
