Red Hat Co-Founder Bob Young Resigns 146
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'"

Bob has been behind much of this, though it is hardly something that one man can lay full claim to. Going forward, hopefully RedHat keeps it together and continues to generate Linux buzz.

But, like you said, Linux wouldn't be what it is today without RedHat. Not only they made Linux a viable alternative for buisnesses (and homes), but they actively contributed to a number of OSS proyects, all the way back to when Linux wasn't the buzzword it is today. We Linux users (and OSS users aswell) owe a lot to RedHat, and yes, Bob Young has been behind much of it. I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours... and hope RedHat does well.

Yeah right. I'm a red-hatter, when we heard of his sudden resignation yesterday, most of us were more than a little bit troubled. Not because we'll miss his leadership ... In the 6 years I've worked here, I've only seen him once, and he reminded me of a used car salesman. But when he suddenly sells of all of his RHAT stock and jumps ship... it really gives teeth to those rumors of an SEC investigation...
