Rahul,
Thank you for your reply, you're the only @fedora poster I see so I only
read and respond to you,as you represent officialness,
I trust none of the other 10 posters or so in this thread were, because
they did not post from fedora/redhat so to avoid getting into long
rantings with trolls, I did not read them, after this post of thanks to
you I shall unsubscribe from this list, since Fedora wont be the way my
friends or I traverse, but I thank you.

This is noted, it is the users that make a distribution, users just want
a,b and c to work, they don't care, which I guess is why Ubuntu has a good
foothold now days, not being U.S based it is not subject to its laws or
requirements and as none of us are U.S based, nor are we.

More like 5-7 from what I was told by them, and yes, CentOS is nice.
Best,
Laura
