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?
