    Don’t besmirch Red Hat this way. Red Hat is as dead as Sun Microsystems at this point. They’re just being Weekend at Bernie’s-ed by IBM. Despite IBMs promise of independent operation and business as usual.

      A colorful image but what does that even mean? I get not liking their decisions but they’re hardly dead…

        Red Hat is gone. The leadership, vision, people, and culture that made Red Hat Red Hat are gone. IBM has completely taken over internally. Red Hat’s logo is being paraded around to keep people complacent due to their former reputation.

          I think it’s a cop out to blame any of this on IBM as these kinds of changes started before the acquisition.

          I also don’t know who you mean when you say the people are gone as most of the executive leadership have been with the company for a decade or two.

          I guess I was sad when they killed shadowman but that was before IBM too!

        It’s a matter of perspective. Just like how microsoft is dead for a lot of us because we don’t use their products, the same can be said about IBM and red hat.
