On the record with Jim Whitehurst, Red Hat's new CEO: 'I must have a mission' (CNET)
Over at CNET, Matt Asay interviews new Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst. Many will be as surprised as Asay at the free/open source software ideals coming from someone with seemingly no connection to that world. Whitehurst comes from Delta Airlines. "Red Hat appealed to me. Red Hat is different. By doing well as a company at Red Hat, we are doing good. Open source is a way to focus on the customer, letting us grow, succeed, and change the technology landscape...all while doing something that is fundamentally good. Fighting for open standards and open formats. These things will change society. I'm thrilled to be here."

He said all the right things which is all you can hope for from a new CEO. Hopefully he keeps the company moving in a positive direction.

On the record with Jim Whitehurst, Red Hat's new CEO: 'I must have a mission' (CNET) Posted Jan 7, 2008 23:01 UTC (Mon) by Dulles (guest, #48537) [Link] Typical corporate butt-kissing from a Delta Airlines manager. I just cancelled my Redhat EL5 subscription, and will never be using Redhat again. Redhat EL5 is the worst ever, with broken app installations and broken updates. The "Redhat Network" is so incredibly warped and un-usable it's a joke. Redhat just lost this customer for good, and their "positive" spin isn't real.
