Red Hat Announces Enterprise Linux

OldBen writes "RedHat has announced the product stable to replace the mainstream releases for enterprise use. RedHat Enterprise Linux AS replaces Advanced Server (with quite a price hike to go along), ES is targeted at "entry-level" servers, and WS is for workstations. See the details at RedHat's website."

What's this?

The linux distro they run on Star Trek?

Does it include Majel Barrett-Rodenbery's voice?

Now it reminds me of Rod Stewart. Eww.

If only there was a perfect operating system...

Open source is great, but crappy source really does suck. Hey why don't you just run a Microsoft operati... Sorry my computer crashed. What was I say? Oh yeah, never mind.

the number of RHCEs at the red hat operations building pouring buckets of water over their web server to keep it from exploding from the brutal, merciless slashdotting it is now receiving. -jms258

Well, it just goes to show...

You can't put RedHat in the Enterprise, but you can put Enterprise in the RedHat.

No, wait, you CAN put RedHat in the Enterprise, but you-no wait...crap...nevermind

Sure, and with my handy-dandy corporate buzz word generater, I came up with this description for it.
After all, if you cant dazzle them with briliance, baffle them with bullshit.

"Red Hat Enterprise Server

Through a top-down, proactive approach we can remain customer focused and goal-directed, innovate and be an inside-out organization which facilitates sticky web-readiness transforming turnkey eyeballs to brand 24/365 paradigms with benchmark turnkey channels implementing viral e-services and dot-com action-items while we take that action item off-line and raise a red flag and remember touch base as you think about the red tape outside of the box and seize B2B e-tailers and re-envisioneer innovative partnerships that evolve dot-com initiatives delivering synergistic earballs."

You know absolutely nothing about computers, do you?

"different incompatible version of Windows 2000 Server, Professional, etc different version of IIS"

Fucking moron. Your IIS server didnt break, you were too stupid to use it. You deserve to pay a grand an hour to get it 'fixed' (or installed)

Seriously, if you cant run IIS, what makes you think it's going to be easier to run Apache? A fucking chimpanzee can run IIS.

Idiots are idiots, changing the OS doesnt make you any smarter.
