who thinks all these new users who've suddenly begun posting on LXer, all in one way or another, attacking Red Hat, is somewhat suspicious.

What I find suspicious is that they all seemed to pop up with the release of Men in Black 3

Coincidence? Sure, just look into this blinky thing.

They didn't speak using enough trite one-liners.

For my part I expected it, to say that FOSS is full of 'fanboys' (and girls) would be severely redundant at this point for most..no?"

Yep, Scott, and somehow fans of distro U or perhaps distro S feel a need to trash the opposition. Silly, IMHO. Linux does best if all of the above are successful.

It's not just you...

I posted something quite similar, three days ago

http://lxer.com/module/forums/t/33404/

A whole pile of new posters, all smearing Red Hat.

But who benefits enough to go to the trouble? Unless this was just a training run?

I just wish new LXer users was representative of something positive, like more people using Linux on the desktop. Oh well...

Speaking of Red Hat and clones, I'm about to do a CentOS 6.3 desktop install. This should be fun...

Do write up your experience, it's been a long time since I RedHatted. I'm curious what has changed.
