I come down in agreement with Rahul on this one.  I can completely 
understand Red Hat's reasons for discontinuing Red Hat Linux, and I 
don't think it was treacherous, just disappointing.  I was hoping that 
Red Hat could make it go, and I'm happy that RHL lived as long as it 
did.  The fact that Red Hat continues to support Fedora indicates a 
level of integrity that not all firms have anymore.  I also believe that 
Red Hat did a lot to bolster the credibility of Linux in the eyes of 
many people.

I don't think Red Hat ever hid the Fedora Project.  I got the EOL email 
and it pointed me to the Red Hat site with the big RHEL vs. Fedora 
links.  The choices were pretty obvious to me.  I had to scramble a 
bit....because I was a couple of weeks away from starting a new class on 
RHL 9, but I switched to FC1 and pulled it out.
