From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'll never use an Oracle product and IBM is a soulless corporation. Debian is a much better product anyway but they're missing some of the really good enterprise features that Red Hat has. I hope at some point they have solutions for Satellite and IDM.

While oracle has definitely always been... problematic, it is refreshing to see something actually written by a real, rational person. It may just be corporate fodder, but it's good for people in this case, something very rare - just like SUSE's not-so-subtle PR statements.

Screw RH.
