Re: Crappy Products Cost More!!

[Sundar Narayanasamy]

I use Redhat regularly, but try SuSE, Debian, TurboLinux and others, here 
and there. I always happened to go back to RedHat. Their manual is up to 
the point, anything more than that you could always visit them on-line. I 
always found SuSE manuals too bloated.

I used to buy every release of RedHat, but after they upped the prices I 
have been buying just the alternate releases. They seem to be also doing 
lot of things with Linux for schools, fighting against M$ and working with 
corporation like Oracle/IBM/.. in porting their applications to Linux.
