Hi
I have been using both Fedora and Redhat EL systems
and it seems to me that the split between these
distributions makes it more easy for Fedora to form a
community with a set of third party repositories and
packagers working with it while Redhat EL is left out
in the cold with a few exceptions like dag's
repository.
One of the reasons is that Redhat EL is tied into a
subscription model (ie) the binaries are not available
for free from Redhat itself. While third party
rebuilds like centos(centos.org) do a good job of
filling that need, it might be more beneficial for
Redhat to supply the binaries and ISO images itself
without a support subscription attached to it. A
subscription would only be available for a fee.
I'm fairly sure this is off-topic for this list.
I'm not even sure where it's on topic, but I'm positive this list is not
it.
