I was a major Solaris x86 hound until Sun Microsystems horked the x86 community back in 2002. Well at least they didn't shut it down completely, and leave the users totally abandoned like Red Hat did with "Red Hat Linux". ALL support was pulled in like what, 5 months? Meanwhileou can still get Solaris x86 today, and for the foreseeable future.

When Redhat decided to change their business model and branding the created Fedora which is pretty much just redhat, in fact most of the packaged in FC1 (first fedora) were the same as those in RedHat9 (the last in the RedHat line).
Redhat did not 'completely abandon' their users, though they did piss off many of them (including me). After a few months of using fedora and seeing the model they put forth work I am now just fine with it. For people who wanted to stay with RHEL on non critical systems the cost is as little as 60$ a year.
