In my life with LINUX, two incidents made me to change my OUTLOOK.
They were both challenges.
1. Number ONE.
Redhat deserting Me and US.
That was easy, I went to SuSe (Another disappointment in corporate world) and Mandriva and now PCLINUX FullMonty.
2. Number TWO.
The local cronies of Microsoft Corporation, using school leavers to disrupt a tiny workshop for KANDY school boys.
Yes they bribed the school leavers and threw in alcohol to douse them.
That was the turning point.
Had not for these two trivial incidents in my life full of bigger challenges to overcome, I would not have taken almost obsessive interest in Desktop Linux.
OUTCOME.
1. Five (5) books in Linux including cloud computing.
2. Almost daily downloading and testing Linux Derivatives.
3. Archive of over 400 Linux distributions from 1998 to TODAY.
4.Promoting LINUX Magazine.
5. Contributing articles.
Good News.
Two Debian Developers have translated the Linux Administrators Manual to English (from French).
Its print form is $50/= but digital form is FREE but make sure YOU Donate few dollars in appreciation of their dedicated work.
REDHAT had the best MANUALS, then.
It took another 10 years to fill the VOID.
Like what Richard Stallman had said about Apple Mac and Steve JOB,
I don't like his death, but I am happy he is gone.
I am Happy REDHAT is DEAD and RHEL has gone its own way to the corporate world.
That does not mean DESKTOP USER/s will sit back and Lick his/their wound/s or corporate ArXXXXSss.
They will innovate and move forward with new ideas.
