Paid support vs. self supported? Yes, that's an apple to orange
comparison. So what? The point is, the same people who complain that
they were "abandoned" by Redhat never had anything invested in them to
begin with. The same thing happened with Caldera, though they went on to
alienate *all* of their customer base, not just the freeloaders. How
many of the same people who voiced so loudly that they had been screwed
by Redhat ever contributed a single line of code? When's the last time
they checked a patch into the kernel tree? Yet they profess superiority
because they learned how to "automatically build stuff" on a nightly
basis. Big deal. It's a shell script and a cron job. Show me code if
they want credibility, otherwise get of the "holier than thou" podium,
it's embarrassing the community.

Some of my readers ask me what a "Serial Port" is.
The answer is: I don't know.
Is it some kind of wine you have with breakfast?
