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 27 of 39 | ANN.lu |

Oh, boy, do you ever.

Some people may complain about the effectiveness of Commodore's marketing and PR campaigns but the company WAS perfectly capable of putting out press releases. Amiga Inc. hasn't displayed some uncanny novel knack for getting the Amiga in the public eye.
>If you're bitter like Jason then too bad.
I get the distinct impression that there are a lot of people out there who will refuse to name their sons "Jason." |
