How did Red Hat get so big?
>>53557063
they started working for the NSA
Cygnus
>>53557079
Is that the only reason? So many distros are spinoffs from it.
>>53557063
They were the first company that really cared about the people who use Linux and not just about adding features for masturbatory reasons
probably because you rescaled it and printed it up @ 'le local commercial-printing-shoppe
>>53557423
You are totally right, Red Hat is great at supporting its customers unlike Canonical which sucks.
>>53557079
No, they started working for the army. The NSA, although very important component on its own, only makes part of a fully restrictive surveillance state made possible by CIA, DoD and other components
there is a NSA and people are being spied by it, but its just part of the system they live in
They started to hire Pajeet from the looks of it
>>53557458
Canonical has better support feedback and 1000 times more users than Red Hat.

Fuckoff racist shit
>>53557674
And yet RH is the billion dollar company while canonical has never made any profit
>>53557063
They didn't hire any cancerous sjw white womyn "diversity officers". If i was forced to hire a woman i would hire a poo in loo before an entitled white bitch.
>>53557675
Was wondering how far into a the thread K could get before gratuitous racism……..thank you for confirming my assumptions.
>>53557752
RH works for the American Military. Canonical is an Afro-European company and can't get American bloated military contracts.
>>53557692
Mandrake >>> Suse
r.i.p. Mandrake Linux
Who'd you prefer /g/ Pajeet or Achmed Hussein allamed?

I'm finding the casual racism against Indians on this board kind of ironic... I mean, I like how Wendell put it: the population of the USA is 320M. You could replace the entire population of the USA with the best and brightest people in India and there would still be nearly a billion people left there.
Shit, the best 320M people in India could probably suffer significant brain damage and still be more productive than the entire US population.
So keep in mind that those casual racists are actually the bottom of the barrel when it comes to Americans.

Its been years since some faggot brought this up and I still can't unsee it.
Some of their developers tend to be narcissistic (see systemd and libusb).
>>53559366
Linus gets paid by Red Hat.
>>53559424
He has yelled at their developers before for breaking people's installs (kernel debug flag).
Red Hat is a damn good distro. Not very useful on the desktop because it's very very far from the bleeding edge (Use Fedora for that). However, server wise it's stable and amazing.
>>53558581
but how does a t-rex do that with such tiny arms

Racism in this case is warranted.
If you have a problem with racism, then you should start fixing the source that lead to its establishment: shitty Indian culture.
Look at Brits for instance, much less people call them out on bad teeth anymore since they have been proclaimed by the OECD as being among the best in teeth hygiene and health in the past few years.
Brits beat racism, not by whining about it, but by fixing their own shit.
Maybe you should in the same manner fix up Indian shitting practices, before you whine about warranted racism.
They were one of the first to sell linux OS support to enterprises.

Well not blaming them sure as hell ain't gonna fix the onslaught of stench that everyone faces when the plane doors open after it has docked at any Indian airport.

>>53560187
The fuck is going on there

Parents, friends, and family, climbing up floors to help their children during tests.
Test cheating has been out of control in India in the past decade.

Providing answers to students taking exams for a fee. 100 rupees for the first floor, 200 for the second, 300 for the third and so on.

You fags realise Redhat is in 10's of thousands of servers and the people running those are paying a license and for support. They got massive income compared to your typical open source crap developers.

Is that all you got faggot
>>53559555
You're sure about that?

In the beginning, RedHat was the first commercially viable Linux distro. Think circa 1998 or so.
The only other options were Mandrake and Slackware. I think Debian might have been a thing as well, but I don't recall. Caldara was also a thing, but it was associated with SCO, and was still-born.
CentOS is RHEL source with different artwork. I believe RedHat fully endorses CentOS.
OP post Redhat office in India.
Everybody biting the bait.
>>53559459
Linus gives no shits. This should've already been obvious to you.
>>53566865
It's funny that even Mohammad knows better than to shit in the streets, rivers, and on beaches.
>tfw no pajeet in czech republic
feel good
Also a strategical HQ:
- wages aren't paid in Euro but in CZK; Check'em republic is constantly delaying the adoption of the Euro and constantly de-pricing its own currency. This obviously attracts foreign investments (if the wages were to be paid in Euro, those would be 2x/3x)
- great connectivity
- next to Germany
- the most western point of the former Eastern/Soviet block
- the most acculturated and rich part of the former Czechoslovakia
- women are hot and ready to get laid
- water? no, beer
- coke? no, kofola (way stronger than coffee, and healtier than coke)
If they definitively moved their HQ in Yurop they would gain immensely on the legal dept (no more patent trolling, no more neverending IP rights, no more blocks/embargoes on crypto for anything that ain't in the Wassenaar Agreement and no more military patents - i.e. they had in bugzilla ECDSA for something like 6?7? years before the patent issues on that got cleared). OTOH, NSA wouldn't like to work with them if they weren't strictly bound to the US of A policies, patents and so on

They don't feel the urge to keep their software as shit just in order to keep their software "compatible" with 1970's OSes.
Why did it take until this decade for free OSes to stop using fucking *shell scripts* for managing *all system services*? It's like incorporating duct tape and bubblegum into the design of a nuclear reactor.
> but muh modularity
>>53557638
pretty much this
the DoD uses red hat heavily. a lot of government sectors use it actually. i know for fact government of arizona uses red hat with a few debian machines (thought they're getting phased out).
Those pictures are from the RHEL offices in India btw
