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 21 of 39 | ANN.lu |
Posted by gary_c on 24-Aug-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 15 (Androxyn): Hey guys, I must say you're both a credit to your respective...computer
platforms? Strange thing to get physical about.
Anyway there are zealots in every group.
Unfortunately they tend to color people's opinions of the whole group. This
polarization is really weird. While "certain fans of QNX do not limit
themselves to praising QNX, but rather seem to think it is their obligation to
diss Amiga's every effort," there are, from my experience, many more that
appreciate what Amiga is trying to do and in fact are coding for or wanting
to be involved in both projects.
If people do want to make comparisons, it's
a little early, with nothing out of beta yet. Hopefully the companies and
organizations involved will be honest and forthright in their announcements,
and prompt with their releases, and fans will accentuate the positive, 'cause
that's really the only place you score points anyway. |
