[plug] Part of Redhats New Iniative

[Ville Johansson]

Fedore could potentially be one of the better things that has for Linux. 
The right amount of corporate
backing coupled with volunteer work (for a relatively large user base) 
could be a very good mix. Although Ximian has done basically the same 
thing already. It's gone pretty well too as far as I can see.

Deep down I think it's a bit of a shame that Linux has become this huge. 
It's like having your kids
grow up and move out (even though I don't have any real experience of 
that, I'm 17!!). But it can't
stay a hobby OS forever.

That last paragraph came maybe 2-3 years too late, Linux has been big 
for quite a while now. So I'll shut up now and stay on the topic. How 
much stuff has RedHat added to their distribution that new developers 
would have to delve through? I've always been under the impression that 
RH has a lot of custom stuff all the way through, in form of patches to 
a lot of programs. I haven't touched Red Hat in a while though. Just 
wondering how accessible Fedora will be to developers.

PS: For those of you who remember my introductory post a couple of 
months ago, I'm now safe and sound in Australia and I've settled in 
quite nicely during the last three months. Still not sure how much I'll 
be able to attend First Wednesdays and stuff like that though, but I'd 
like to go at least once.
