Redhat Update Servers To Linux Dudes: Pay Or Leave With narry an available FTP site in sight...Redhat has sent out message after message this week about patches to its distros. Each day and each night it is the same thing. All free servers are shut down - if you want the fix you'll have to pay up and get premium service. Nice to see that Redhat is popular - but now everyone is busy downloading RH9 and no one can update their buggy and holey systems for free. Is this the advantage of free and open source systems? Is free software like free bear? Should I go with a bankrupt French company? Should I return to a "real" operating system like Windoze or OSX. (And why the would anyone want to run Linux on this system anyway - it has the real thing in there BSD Unix?? Xwindows is all you should need). Or should I just rant on here.... I'm already running all of these OS anyway .... Now when can I get all those patches you Redhat Bozos? And why hasn't slashdot mentioned this problem yet?? 7:19:19 PM
