longhorn is way to far away to even start to review it. yes it has all the flaws still but like said it's alpha. supposedly they dumped all the code they had and rewrote most of the code which i assume is what you have now or not...

as for redhat, i hear it isn't gonna be free no more. while you can still get it off irc or something it won't be on a linux website. the thing is that their gonna stop updating it.

linux should not ever cost any money. The company should respect Linus Trovaldz (whoever made linux, i forget) and his dream for a free, open and efficient OS

well, as of now you just pay for the package itself - CDs, box, manual or whatever... you can dl it, of course.


as for redhat, AFAIK, it's the britney spears of *nix distros - commerical and targeted at the audience. those other distros - the ones that have teeth - are the real ones.

Britney speers is a bad analogy for it... its more like.. the XP of distros..
And there is nothing wrong with redhat.. the vast majority of linux webservers run redhat.

I don't think microsoft will ever do an OS better than windows 2000, and i think they realize that too, what they are now trying to do is to build in every single fucking function into the OS so that people HAS to upgrade when a new os comes, otherwise they can't use internet like they want etc.

Fedora redhat is still freee. If you look in GPL you see that you HAVE to release the source code for your linux OS, and you can redistrubute it any way you want.
