I wonder if it's related to the fact that in a linux chat room I sometimes frequent, lots of people come in and need help installing Fedora or Ubuntu, but Indian visitors are *heavily* skewed to "Redhat 9 won't run on my hardware", and they are often resistant to the suggestion that they install FC4, or CentOS 4, or RHEL 4, depending on their licensing and stability requirements... Seriously - anybody know why they have the big Redhat9 fixation?
