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 4 of 39 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Henrik Mikael Kristensen on 23-Aug-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 1 (gary_c): I wish Amiga Inc. would keep a little more quiet when it comes to such announcements like they did in the beginning of the year. There was more sense back then.
It looks like the local news reporter in a small boring town trying to find a semi-interesting story to fill some pages in a skinny newspaper.
I could go down to a store, buy a RedHat distribution and announce on my personal website: "Henrik Mikael Kristensen announces Strategic Partnership with RedHat." Salesman in store states: "We're happy to be working with solid people like Henrik, and this partnership will be of tremedous benefit to both parties."
Same amount of fluff. |
