I am switching from REDHAT to anything. - FedoraForum.org
I purchased a copy of Redhat Enterprise WS 3 because Redhat was going to
discontinue its regular Redhat 9.0 and cater to the big companies.
I
loaded this WS software and found out that a lot of Linux software was
omitted from it.
They have videoconf but they left out the video modules
for the camera I use also a lot of others.
Next I tried to ftp my files
back into the system from another Linux only to find out that I could
not set up the WS software as a ftp server.
Next I tried to set up the
computer as a Gateway for my home system only to find out ever time i
run MASQ it seems to disappear from the lsmod listing.
Also found out
that the 128MB Memory I am using is not enough from this software.
Every
time it boots I get a warning.
I am sorry I did like REDHAT at one time
but no more.
It looks like they do not care about the individual users
any more and only care for the corp companies.
I think I will switch
back to Slackware where I first started some years ago.

I get irritated @ RedHat once every release (Using since 4.2) and end up
bouncing between Debian and FreeBSD.
Somehow I always endup using RedHat
again.
If you aren't using support from your purchased version of RH 9,
you might want to look into Fedora, Fedora.redhat.com, it's the
opensource-community?
Spin-off of the RH enterprise products.
The stuff
that gets stripped out of the RH release is due to licensing and royalty$
(patent)issues.
With Fedora it is still stripped out, but you can get
most of those RPMs back at rpm.livna.org.

why did you do that?
Give $$$ to RH when Fedora is still free, and has
all the same quality and familiarity as RH9 had?
it is not so good to make such decisions while in a negative emotional
state, which is what a lot of satisifed RH users seem to be doing.
So Red Hat has to face the realities of needing to make some money?
So what ditch their distribution?
Not even consider or try Fedora?
Emotions are over-ruling what were otherwise sound technical-thinking
people.
For now it seems RH is focused on the server end and serving
corp customers.
Meanwhile, all indications are Fedora will continue to
thrive, after all it is just a successor to the best RH distro.
