Jason Compton wrote in comp.sys.amiga.misc: All this is, is an announcement that says that Red Hat will sell Amiga's SDK through their web store. I confirmed with Red Hat's Melissa London (who confirmed it with execs within the company) that this is in no way an announcement of any agreement, alliance, partnership, or joint development agreement. This is, in effect, a press release that says "Our CD is on sale at RedHat.com." Don't let anyone tell you different.

| Jason Compton on Amiga/Red Hat announcement : Comment 1 of 39 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by gary_c on 23-Aug-2000 22:00 GMT | Hmm. Though I'm generally skeptical about Amiga's "partnership" announcements,
there seems to be more to it than just Redhat selling the CD, unless this guy
was misquoted:
"We're excited to be working with Amiga," said Paul
McNamara, VP of Products and Platforms. "With a multimedia
consumer layer available with Red Hat as the foundation, new
markets and new users will be able to take advantage of Linux
and the software available on Redhat.com."
So I'd say the reality is somewhere in between Amiga's grandiose style and
Jason Compton's bitter reaction. |
