"RedHat is continuing to fork the general Open Source origins of Linux." On the contrary, I think Red Hat is a solid supporter of Open Source Software, witness their development and use of GNOME instead of KDE. Their core distribution (the one without the commercial offerings) and the software they produce, like GNOME and RPM, are open source, complete with source code. I don't believe the different distributions are fracturing Linux at all, since they are all using the same kernel; they just have different packaging of applications on top. tfk
