[CentOS] How serious are we about not wanting to see...
Personally, I am agnostic. I've just read thru Centos documentation that there is a big effort to remove all upstream personalities from Centos. Personally, I don't see why RH is doing this. I would think that it undermines RH. But I'm still new/old to all of this. It used to be the big argument was between Unix from Berkeley(4.? I think) and SysIII/V. Always always battles for turf.

It's a trademark issue. CentOS is not Red Hat, so they can't use Red Hat's trademarks. Nothing more, nothing less. On 14/12/14 09:50 PM, Clayton Kirkwood wrote:> Personally, I am agnostic.
