"hackers"

[Roger]

<snip> I have a simple question: What the hell dose this rant have to do 
with: "Community Support For Fedora Users"?????????? </snip>

Quite a lot really although I don't see it as a rant, just a plea by 
someone with either a deep concern or someone agitating for some 
ulterior motive.
Lack of community concern can be gauged by the number of responses, many 
of whom say, "forget it", "leave it alone", and rightly so.

Drupal, wordpress, Mongodb, Microsoft, Security organisations, Adobe, 
manufacturing and telecommunications companies,  Governments, the 
Military all hire hackers but they are known as Programmers and paid for 
their service.

When Linux is mentioned it's Programmers get lumped into a derogatory 
category "hackers" by those same organisations, who have so called 
hackers on the pay role.
Fedora is a test bed, changed over and over again to improve everything. 
We use Fedora for this reason.

May I humbly suggest that the original poster of this series, take 
everything that's been said on board and formulate his plan to achieve 
his goal and make an effort.  Join Avaaz and post his concern there he 
may get a wider response.
