It’s always good to read level-headed arguments and opinions from tech journalist. This article goes over some of the issues of why people may despise RedHat, even more than Microsoft. However, in the Linux community it’s almost silly to get mad at one distribution since there are almost over 100 to choose from.

Another funny thing are the people who think that RedHat is becoming a proprietary company when all the software they create is GPL’d. For such smart people us geeks seem to react before we think sometimes. I think SixApart would agree.
