OT - How come the competition is getting it right

[Chris A Czerwinski <chrisczerwinski cogeco ca>]

Will Novell finally get it right this time and by listening to their
users? or Will RedHat drop the ball and forget us Red Hat Linux 9 as
Fedora is too volatile, April is coming up very fast. 
Is a stable version required to keep US users happy and the product
alive with eager supporters and the name Red Hat as good will or Will
inaction be the answer again?
