remember saying RedHat has literally hundreds of Kernel developers and then, much later, admitting you dont have a clue how many they have

Not really, I think I said two hundred linux kernel developers which should have been two hundred linux developers. Minor mistake, not the same as knowingly and purposefully lying for months as antiRepublican has actually admitted to doing, but as usual whatever you can come up with to distract from the real issues.

accusing me of calling Stallman a saint

LOL, I know that moonbat Stallman refers to himself literally as a "Saint", and you're constantly defending his Linux software just like you are now, but I really don't know what else you're talking about. Link it if you think it somehow incriminates me, but more likely it is just more of you pushing Linux on everyone and trying to cover up who Mr. Stallman acutally is.

Linux isn't Stallman's, it's Torvalds's.

Trying to weasel out of one of your better documented lies? I said that Redhat had to do very limited Kernel Design and that was a value add to their business (see we were talking about, specifically, the Linux Kernel). Your reply was

"Red Hat has literally hundreds of kernel devs"

Again Specifically talking about the Kernel

After this you had a chance to take it back when I pointed out for Redhat to have hundreds of kernel developers (thats more than 200) they would need to have more than 20% of their workforce devoted to that, Now *if* you had mistakenly meant linux in general you would have corrected yourself here. but instead you said

"During the past year, more than 4,100 patches from Red Hat employees were integrated into the upstream 2.6 kernel. "

Still addressing *specifically* the kernel, it was not until you had been sufficiently beat up about your lie that you conceded (sort of) by dropping kernel (note you still don't acknowledge you were wrong about the kernel part).

Yes, according to here and elsewhere Red Hat has a few hundred paid developers working on Linux

But finally you admitted you were wrong along "While no one knows for sure how many of their hundreds of programmers work specifically on the kernel"

Well sort of, you tried to claim you never said hundreds

"Another one of your bald faced lies, check the link for yourself, I said "Linux developers", not "Linux kernel developers" as you claimed I said."
