The EDA vendors only support RedHat, so I'm sticking with it, whatever
its faults. And, finally, after all these years, we now actually have
a professional Linux distribution, that's not just put together by
hackers. But I'll tell you what really pi**es me off about it - they
now charge an *annual* subscription for it. I've been buying Windoze
distributions for 20-odd years, and I've never once had to pay an
annual subscription. I bought my current Win2K 4 years ago, and I can
still download updates and security fixes for free. What exactly makes
RedHat think that they can charge year-on-year for that? If they'd
just asked me for a one-off $200 then I'd have paid it. I'm running
FC2 now, despite having to download the whole thing.
