Elm, Pico, Wine, Word Perfect and Gatos Drivers are all I can think of
now. Some of these may have been fixed by now but I have replaced
hardware and started using terminal services to use the programs I
needed to have running in wine. Some of these are available in other
repositories now, but that did not help back then. It also didn't help
how I felt when I was billed for a one year RHN subscription a month
before the announcement that in 6 months RHL 9 would no longer be
supported.
If you resent paying RH for support, you should be really happy
to find the Centos distribution...
It's a little late to be concerned about this now, the reputation
was
damaged quite a while ago. And the arrogant attitudes that caused the
rift, persist to this day. Unless you have pull within RH, I suggest
you drop the inquisition, all you are doing is reminding me and many
others of problems that upset them from back around that time.
Again, Centos does not inherit any attitude problems.
If I
didn't have customers using RH products I would not be here now. I have
moved all our servers to FreeBSD and only keep one FC workstation
around for testing.
That's actually pretty funny if you look at the number of things
that worked well on RH9 but not RHEL3 compared to FreeBSD back
then.
