That’s weird… where are you located? If I search for Oregon in the US I get totally legit search items:

firefox dot org dot uk has a huge download link when I go to it. It does say it’s not officially supported by Firefox or Google, but there is a big download link in the middle. The link actually points at mozilla.org so it’s at least the real file.

And what’s even better is that setting my user agent in Firefox (using User Agent Switcher) to IE7 seems to let it work just fine. (well, I can get to the next page; don’t have anything to book so I can’t go any father than that)

This is just supremely lazy and unacceptable!

The NHS is supposed to be inclusive and unfortunately CFH has become taken over by “Microsoft Moonies”.

@nicu - Yes, you’re right. Red Hat naturally seemed a little frosty towards CentOS In The Beginning but have now warmed to the extent they run fedorapeople spaces on it!

@Bucky - Personally I’d never compare RHEL and Fedora. I think my frustration at time stems from extensive changes (e.g. recent Perl upgrade) where I’d like to see it instead left to the next version to stand out as a a feature - Look, Fedora x has the latest Perl! I think the stability pendulum has swung too far towards bleeding edge stuff.

@Clifton - You are vanquished.

As long as RedHat sponsors a cutting-edge distribution as well as a stable distribution, the cutting-edge one will be perceived as a beta for the stabler one. There’s no real way around that.

I’m always just a little puzzled when people compare Fedora and RHEL, and come up negative. How is Fedora’s being just THAT far away from being an Enterprise-grade environment a negative thing? How is Fedora’s having the newest software that I can reasonably expect to actually run a negative thing?

These are the reasons I run Fedora in the first place. They’ve always been true. If there’s an identity crisis among developers, let me just declare, as nothing but an end-user, that I don’t really have a problem with Fedora, its history, or its direction (though I do resolve the right to bitch like the world is ending from time to time).
