Hey COLUG,

This article about Oracle's RedHat clone...
http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS3439288465.html

Is slightly interesting, YAST for example, YAST and RH together at last.

Well besides the whole oracle RH thing being just plain strange the  
article says the following



"Unlike companies like CentOS, StartCom and White Box Enterprise  
Linux, which make no bones about simply taking RHEL's code, taking  
out the Red Hat branding, recompiling it and selling it, Oracle is  
taking Unbreakable Linux down a different path. "

 From what I can tell CentOS takes donations but does not sell the OS.

Sure we can get into a discussion as to what RedHAT actually sells,  
but my point is that the article might be in error. It looks like the  
site takes comments so if anyone is certain that the article is  
incorrect should perhaps post a note.
