Comment anti-redhat sentiment = contraproductive (Score 1) 500
1. The real competitor is Microsoft, not any of
the other linux distributions, not even Apple or
Sun. Apple, Sun, SGI and all linux distributions
are allies.
2. Linux Standard Base is a good idea, and ALL linux distros, especially Redhat, should rally
behind it. I should be able to do a 'rpm --rebuild somepackage_from_someotherdistro.rpm' and install the resulting rpm file on my LSB compliant distro.
3. Brands are important, but making your distro incompatible with the others is not a good way do differentiate. There are many other ways, currently unexplored, that distros can stand out to their linux competitors.
