US hardware companies should not be supporting "Red Flag Linux", the official operating system of the PRC.

They should only be offering them "Red Hat Linux", if not something of significantly truer American herritage like Unix or Windows, and keep the source closed.

Course that's just my opinion, I'm sure many of you M$-haters are just tickled silly about this, so long as it didn't go to M$, right? This must be a great day for Linux lovers, especially those in Red China.

Naa but the only difference between Redhat and Redflag are the packages set up on it. As you can legally use redhat without paying the company redhat the US does not have a whole lot to gain.

Think about what the chinese people are getting, a system that they and not their government own. If china obeys the GPL (insert pigs going throught the air here) they will relase the code to all those who use it.

Here we agree.

But how come you're not bashing HP for this? If it had been IBM, I can only imagine what venom you and CS would be spitting about it.
