of course you could do it. Fedora Core is free you would not need pay anyone
for it. but you could always give money to redhat for support. you could
also participate in the fedora development. you would need to provide
support to the end users not because you have to but because they demand
it. you could provide a fedora mirror for them to use and pre configure
there machines to use your mirror taking some load off of the Red Hat
servers.

yes thanks . i believe in the giving back and just was wondering how
. i can set up a repository . i just think i also need to pay the team
to . they do a great job and this is why linux is strong today and why
billy cant do much with it . i saw an article the other day where he
said linux was like communism because it was worked on and given back to
the community . i think the way Linux is designed there learning that
they cant compete with it . i know there's law suites and all but i
think in the end linux will prevail . but for every computer i sale ill
give back to the research team . its amatter of choosing linux hardware
and matching it with fedora core . . the one i am using only cost 300 to
build and anything else is gravy .

Hi,
this may not be the place to ask but could one build computers with
fedora core for the OEM ? and if one did how could ya make sure who
gets the money ...would it be redhad ?
Do you mean for Fedora to come pre-installed on a machine for sale? If
so, I can't see there being a problem.
If RH have removed the fiddly bits they had not covered by the GPL in
RH9 from Fedora, then there isn't a charge. Failing that, I'm not sure.

Well I must say I started on REdhat 6 I followed to redhat * and then
left Linux for a While. I got a RH9 Bible for Christmas and started
again WOW what cant you do! Then I discovered Fedora and I tell you
there is no better OS for endusers, I tested everything this year SUSe 8
Mandrake 9 RH9 Debian Slackware, and FC1 is the most user friendly and
EVerything works I have to add Gxine Wine MP3 and K3B now I can do any
thing that windows box does!
Its brilliant.
OUr Company is the 3rd largest PC manufacturer in SA and we are going to
cutomise Fedora for Proline. No need to change anything we are just
going to replace logos and add some apps for user friendliness.

this is away that lindows linux os get over , they have a repository
where they click on a orogram and it installs with not a whimper . the
nubies is lindows target , i think its a good distro because it is
making alot of newbies to switch to cut there teeth on . for us who been
doing it there isnt a challenge in lindows . it does what it suppose to
but i notice when the learn to change theans and watch dvds and able to
grt it running . most start discovering linux iso.com . its where i got
my copy of fedora core , buy i think lindows is a primer to would be
converts , i think mike is doing a good job

Sure but I don't want people to even get a feel for win-doze they must
use pure Linux
I have helped about 10 clients transform there businesses to Linux
without having to give them the look and feel of windows, I don't mean
to offend lindows and it developers, I just have a different view on
things.
One of my favourites is that if you are different then be proud, don't
try and be like someone else it never pays off. Be your self you will
see how people come to you.
