Yes. I started using Linux because I got pissed off with all those
marketroids controlling my computing experience.

Although Redhat's idea of what my computer should be is a lot closer to
mine than Microsoft, in the end I had to stop using red hat for exactly
the same reason. (like releasing a major distribution with a snapshot of
gcc for it's compiler)

I was looking at www.linux-emporium.co.uk yesterday, and noticed that any
reference to RedHat Linux had been replaced with Thread Linux. I can
understand why. Still it made me realise that no 'commercial' distribution
is ever going to give me what I want.
