<div align="justify"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I got
your point, Fedora is a "teaser" and RHEL is the "real thing", so
purchase RHEL. If you test enought in Fedora and find a feature that is
"cool", hey don't forget to tell us, so it can be incorporated in the
next RHEL...</font><br>

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">But the final quote is
magnificent... M$ and Mr. Gates would love it... for the embeded idea
that, in Linux community, UPGRADE/UPDATE is not really an improvement
and addiction of qualities and functionalities but may also imply in
killing/changing functionality without asking the user if he/she agrees
or not with it. And it is real easy to get lost... just what you have
to do is a yum update. And the programs that used to work no more will
behave the same way... very basic things like character encoding in PHP
and so on and so forth...</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">BTW, FHEL does not sell
well in Brazil. Know why? Don't??? So send an idependent audit company
to try to understand the situation... To see what the representatives
do. You'll find resellers installing pirate copies in customers servers
and practices like that. Support nears zero, sometimes you have to be
the "teacher" and is $$$$$ and you are treated with the same f_ck_g
adjective you used in the last paragraph.</font><br>

Wrong. MySQL is released under the GPL (that's about as Open Source as
you can get).

Wrong. Parts of MySQL are GPL and parts are not. From the MySQL site
you can download everything, but it is really trick to compile to fit
what is included in Fedora distribution. PHP is distributed from Zend
Corporation and I really haven't seen if it is or is not GPL, but they
distribute it from free out of their site. But again, if I want to use
it I have to do a lot of tricks to have it running properly under
Fedora.<br>

The kind of idiot that follows Fedora's site instructions and do a yum
