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.

How about I explain myself now. The Amiga SDK has been publicly announced by Redhat as Elate with boing balls all over it. Doesn't this tell you something?

Redhat has done a serious about face since I last talked to them. The PR representative I last spoke to said they're dropping the Amiga SDK from their web site because Amiga has been in negotiations with Mandrake Linux to make the Amiga SDK part of Mandrake.

Sun and Microsoft deliberately agreed to split the Java standard in a backroom
deal strictly engineered to create controversy while Microsoft and Sun share information technology about active scripting and design a joint strategy against the upcoming threat of PHP.
I have it on good authority that Axel Rose is completely demoralized about the situation and may be returning to the studio to finish his album while Amiga sorts out their game plan. He spoke with Bill Mcewan about integrating ARexx into the SDK with no success. |
