[wplug] Red Hat partners with (or assimilates?) CentOS....

[Jeffry D. Woods]

Hi Pat,

Been reading about this since it first came out. Use Red Hat at work  
and I use CentOS at home. Most are saying to combat Oracle, better Red  
Hat was first in this case rather than the latter. This does not  
affect Fedora in any way though, they still remain the initial  
developer. Another factor to consider, if they get the CentOS/Red Hat  
involvement going in the right direction, it would be easier to move  
the user base to Red Hat if they need the extras that come with Red  
Hat rather than have them go to another distro.

Hope this helps,
Jeff
