Heartbroken?
No improvement ever without change, (although not every change lead to improvement.)
Sometimes purchases/buy-outs works out fine. Like the purchase of StarOffice by SUN-Microsystems.
I admit, the world of Open Source does has victims, sometimes not caused by corporate-management but even by technicians vs community.
No, I did not mention the replacement of init.d by bloatware…

Subject: Re: OT: IBM to buy RedHat
I feel as though I've been kicked in the back of the neck.....by Bruce Lee! I don't presume to know the first thing about corporations, mergers, and long term financials,.... And while Red Hat was a corporation per se.....I've always loved
Fedora for being different, for being the odd distro that was backed by a major corporation ....but was still able to support itself independently. Now? I'm just "leery". I don't know what plans IBM has for their new found "toy".....& I'd rather not be surprised
as others have said. So the question is:
Are there any .rpm-based distros that would make a good replacement for Fedora?....
Heartbroken in the world of Open Source.
