Not with the trademark, that is mis-appropriation. If you want to complain about Red Hat doing this, then you'll want to complain about a number of distributors well before

Credit At some point a lot of credit can go to a lot of projects. Yes, many are thanx to Red Hat -- by far the largest of any commercial entity. But then many are thanx to many maintainers in general.

The "2005 Readers' Choice Awards" voting is in progress at Linux Journal, and CentOS is Nominated in the "distribution:" category. So ... all you guys and gals who think CentOS is the best thing ever, get over to: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8266 and vote for CentOS :) ------------------------------- Also, since write ins are allowed on the e-mailed ballot, if

The main problem people have in understanding RHEL is that they don't understand it is a subscription with guarantees and, optionally, service level agreements (SLAs). It's _not_ a product at all.

People who even suggest this only expose their *0* understanding of business. Microsoft has an alliance with Sun. Why?

I think the speculation on Red Hat needs to stop, and I don't know why you had to interject this as well. From what I've seen, I don't think Red Hat is in any legal position to accept

Bryan... NOBODY CARES how many times Chris is wrong. NOBODY CARES what you prove on this point. Whether Chris is right, wrong or stoopid is NOT proper fodder for this (CENTOS) list. Chris being wrong is *strictly* a "Bryan Fixation".
