And where can I get some!

Whatever it is it's powerful stuff. It's almost as if he's never looked at the Linux Distro marketplace, word to the wise Jon, look at distro's such as Whitebox, Tao and Caos, they are all RHEL built from the src rpms provided by Redhat. He might go even further and start accusing Gentoo and any other source based distro next because they don't binaries.

Now if he's actually talking about forking the kernel, he's even way off base, come Jon, fess up whose your drug dealer!
I heard Jon "My Panties Are Too Tight" Schwartz speak at Java One last year. He is completely full of himself and believes that he is so friggin' important that just by his saying something (completely off the wall) that the rest of us mere mortals will believe it.

I have been saying for two years that Sun has lost it and Schwartz is the proof.
