Not really, I think I said two hundred linux kernel developers which should have been two hundred linux developers.

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."

LOL no link of course. Not that it has anything to do with the countless threads on this site falsely claiming Dell was offering pre-installed Linux on home computers, going back over a year now, all of which have turned out to be BS. Now here you are, over a year later still begging them, please please please Mr. Dell ROFL.
