RE: Novell acquires SuSE And Red Hat drops RH Linux

["Hoover, Tony" <hoover sal ksu edu>]

Yes, RedHat is going with the Fedora product line for desktop systems.
Fedora will be produced by RedHat, but not supported (phone support) by
RedHat.

I believe that this makes a lot of business sense.  They won't have to tie
up tech support for desktop calls that most of the time can be resolved by
pointing the user to the appropriate "How-To", so they can spend their
effort on the end of the business that actually makes money, and keeps them
in business.
