how community oriented will RH let Fedora be?how community oriented will RH let Fedora be?Posted Sep 23, 2003 21:48 UTC (Tue) by andrel (subscriber, #5166)In reply to: how community oriented will RH let Fedora be? by snitm Parent article: Red Hat Linux becomes Fedora I think Fedora will be fairly community oriented. But if it isn't, who cares? Since Fedora will be free software anybody who disagrees with Redhat's direction can fork. Remember how Mandrake got started? Also the existence of community-run projects like Debian will help keep RH honest.

how community oriented will RH let Fedora be? Posted Sep 24, 2003 11:56 UTC (Wed) by mdekkers (guest, #85) [Link] While I don't disagree with the overall gist of your statement, I do disagree with your assertion that somehow the Debian project will help keep *any* enterprise linux player honest.To put it bluntly but succintly, unless someone coughs up the dough to certify Debian for Oracle, neither RedHat, nor SuSE, nor any of the other commercial players are going to care very much about Debian. debian is not and will not feature on their radar anytime soon. Now if someone were to stand up and use Debian as a base of their enterprise level product while keeping within the spirit of Debian, yes, then it would be a threat. As it stands, the target market for RH, SuSE et al are simply oblivious to Debina, and when they do know (i.e. they have employed a clever admin or somesuch) they generally still don't care.
