[Sheflug] Pink Tie Linux 8.0

[Richard Ibbotson <nospam [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Not wishing to cause a distro war or to upset anyone but the news came 
to me from the Linux Emporium this morning that after some questions 
had been raised at the Linux Expo at Olympia earlier this year no 
answer had come back from RedHat about licencing issues.

>From John Winters..

"I've given up waiting for Red Hat to respond to the issues I raised
 with them at the Olympia show.  We're therefore now offering:

     Pink Tie Linux 8.0

on cheap CDs.  Pink Tie Linux is produced by CheapBytes in the USA
 and they've kindly provided us with masters to make it available
 over here. It's based on Red Hat with the minimum changes necessary
 to bring it back to full Open Source status."

For those of you who aren't aware of it RedHat have decided that Linux 
is not about Free software or Open Source software.   They seem to 
think that Linux is something else.  I suppose I'll be flamed for 
mentioning this :)

Thanks



Richard
