It's another one of those "Why would I even *consider* running distro X
when distro y does blah blah blah". I don't feel there's any vindication
to be done. I have over 100 servers running both Redhat and Fedora, and
have cut our maintenance costs on supporting AIX on RS/6000's by nearly
$500,000 a year. I really don't care what someone's favorite flavor is,
and I don't recall asking for anybody's blessing on my choices. The only
people who it really matters to are the ones needing an excuse for their
pulpit pounding, "I told you so" behavior. Remember, most all of us were
Caldera "whores" before this list, so I'm a little leery of anyone who's
calling my kettle black.

Q: And where was his head?
A: Just above his shoulders.
