Back then, yes, it was mandatory to compile the kernel. Now, it's
useless.

 
Red Hat and I parted ways after the infamous release where gcc could not
compile a kernel. 20-odd years later I rather like Fedora. It just took
a while...

I used to use Red Hat Linux, then Fedora Core, then Fedora...then
I realized Red Hat legal was exerting too much influence on the
allegedly "community" distribution...

They were taking ECC out of openssl.  Not just failing to build it
in the SRPM, but actually actively taking the code of out of the library's
sources.

Meanwhile, a friend (who is also a linux instructor at the JC), had been
singing the praises of Mint.  I had already felt the squeeze because
Fedora couldn't even play mp3's without the rpmfusion repo.  So, I
jumped ship, and never looked back.
