This is about the third community-based version of Red Hat's
Enterprise Linux I've seen.

First there was White Box, then there was another whose name I forget,
and now this one. Guess people definitely don't want to pay per seat
or even per server licenses for this distro.

Redhat's doing just fine these days. Centos and other knock-offs quite
frankly won't have much of an impact basically because they can't claim
or mislead people into thinking that RedHat will provide user support
for Centos and other such distros like they did in the past.

I don't think they want an impact. They just want to help people who
don't want to pay the new support fees.
