Well I kinda sorta understand AMZN, YHOO, EBAY revenue plan and I would not invest in it. But as I feel I completely understand the Redhat model, the analysis in the briefing.com article tells it the way it is. Redhat very few shares in the float until the insiders get to sell. Will the price support additional insider shares in the float? I'd suggest any investment in rhat is very speculative at this time. I have other concerns about Rhat. I just penned and sent this email with some of my concerns directly to redhat. ------------- Dear Bob, I'm sending this email to you to let you know that I wish you and Redhat the very best. But sometimes Redhat may get it wrong. Of course it's just my opinion. But this is an opinion on technolgy and a particular area of technology where I have substancial experience. If you or someone goes to my url you can find pointer's to several thousand digital photos that I've taken and processed mostly with redhat Linux. Now one application that was absolutely essential for this was John Bradley's xv. It seems that in Redhat 6.0 that Redhat no longer provides xv and instead I guess provides ee. Well to me ee compared to xv is like comparing red baron to netscape. So in my opinion Redhat is doing a disservice to all new users of Linux by restricting access to the far superior xv. Yes I understand that one can find it on ones own, but the ommission of the package is going to deny access to most who install Redhat. I hope that the powers that be see this error and correct it. Else to me it seems your sacraficing users freedom for Redhat mindshare. Or should I say, Am I writing to Bob Young or Bill Gates? ------- Tom Watson tosiwmee
