I have to say something here.  First, I have never used Redhat and I never will
even if it takes 10 years to build a usable slackware distribution...but let me
say that i have watched Redhat grow over the years and they have played fair
ball with everyone as far as i am concerned...they have acquired many binaries
that took me years to build on slackware...and they distribute them somehow in
their distribution which does save their users a lot of time...so i don't want
to hear any more bicering about any of the Linux distributors...they are
brothers and they stand united because divided they fall...they know this...so
support them all and be thankful that Redhat has kept the cost of their
distribution in line with the others.....you do not have to use them if you do
not want to...i don't because i despise package managers of all kinds including
RPM but not only RPM....you can do like me and build Linux from scatch with
tarballs if you have 10 years or so to do this.   Bye now.
