From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

ugh... I hope this doesn't end up flame war. Thank you for sharing and reminds me about it.
Raphael is blindly ignoring that I've literally said I don't support RedHat closing access to their sources and that I'm in here applauding Alma for moving away from their dependence on a greedy corporation. Somehow my acknowledging that enterprise support costs money to provide, and that the resources to develop and distribute FOSS aren't free, means to him that I'm just blindly opposed to FOSS and that I'm pro-corporation.
Your argument boils down to "It can't be helped".
In this thread I've said don't use RedHat because they're being dickbags, also maybe don't use clones of RHEL because they then see you as a customer who isn't paying them, and also if you need enterprise support it costs money so pay for it (because it also pays for the FOSS projects that these companies foster and contribute to).
So what is it that I'm saying can't be helped?
You say this and then you go on a large rant in the next post effectively defending Red Hat. You may be afflicted by Multiple Personality Disorder.
Please link/quote to me defending what RedHat is doing with access to their source repos. I've said repeatedly in this thread (and in your other satire s/RedHat/Linux/) post that we should all stop using RedHat and stop creating a market for Red Hat as the de facto standard, because I do not support what they're doing with access to their source repos.
