I doubt it, but then I also doubt that Scot intends to support them when they try Red Hat, so what difference does that make? Looks to me like Scot's point was "we should offer other distros in addition to RH", not "we need to give people Debian and Slackware". There are more non-RH distros than just those two, after all. -- The freedoms that we enjoy presently are the most important victories of the White Hats over the past several millennia, and it is vitally important that we don't give them up now, only because we are frightened. - Eolake Stobblehouse (http://stobblehouse.com/text/battle.html) _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
