Re:The importance of *commercial* distributions (Score 1)

Personally, I have just switched from windows 2000 to OpenBSD. Say what you will, but I have compeltely avoided Linux in favor of a more secure distro like OpenBSD. Whilst RedHat may be good for individuals looking for a painless install, with a bit more effort you can have a OpenBSD or Debian system that is far superior in security, functionality, and support. And as for drivers, for OpenBSD, if they are taken from any other distro that would be FreeBSD, and that's about it. I have yet to hear of Theo de Raadt using a driver developed by the team behind RedHat or SuSE. So enjoy RedHat, but realize that patches may be needed regularly...
