    RH dealing with the devil (Micro-shaft)

    I don't really blame RH for wanting to "partner" with Micro-shaft with cloud services (etc.) but I strongly suspect they might end up being swallowed later on...

    (history suggests this pattern)

    As for IBM, they've been committed to using Linux for quite a while now, so I'm pretty sure they'll be happy to make hardware that Linux runs on (and software solutions that run on them). No danger to RH there, as far as I would guess.

    But RH needs to make sure they have an 'ass protector' already installed (and properly configured to defend against Micro-shaft). They're sneaky little buggers and RH doesn't need a "surprise".

    What a terrible name for a product

    I keep reading it as "OpenShit." Even after I realized I was misreading it, and tried not to, I still kept reading it as "OpenShit."

    It's time for another Enterprise Linux distribution than just Redhat (and no Oracle Linux, with Oracle support logging tickets with Redhat support themselves is not a good alternative).

    The lack of real competition in the Enterprise Linux market, has not done us any good.
