Red Hat Co-Founder Bob Young Resigns

Anonymous Coward's Cousin writes "Yahoo news is reporting that Red Hat co-founder Bob Young has resigned from the board. From the article: 'In a funny way, my resignation is perhaps the finest compliment I can pay to everyone associated with Red Hat today, I have complete confidence in the future of the company'"

RedHat == Linux as much as Dell == Microsoft. In other words they're totally different even if they share good relations.

Eh? The Thunderbirds did live on an island - Tracey Island, IIRC.

People who complain about "circular dependencies" issues are only showing what fools they are.

Of course some packages are going to rely on each other to be installed, this is why rpm lets you install *more than one package at a time*.

What would *your* solution be? Tossing a bunch of different software packages together into one package, just because they require each other?

Linux distributions have enough problems without persons like yourself spreading FUD just because *you* failed to RTFM.

Oh god I hate trolls

The subject says it all. To anyone who may thinks the parent is creditable, it is not, its just a troll.

This should be a warning to companies (and OSS software teams): if you make a bad product, it's reputation can be a millstone around your neck long after your problems have been fixed. Do not give in to the temptation to rush a piece of crap out the door, hoping to fix it later.

Does Dell maintain a customized Windows distribution...

Isn't that what they ship me on the CD which comes with my shiny new Dell machine?

They change the theme, and the screensaver, and the backdrop... and maybe include some custom apps... oh, and they choose some drivers to include. And they package it all with their custom installer... And then they change all the support links to point to Dell.com instead of Microsoft.com... Sounds like a custom distro to me...
