OK, how do I join RedHat Enterprise? which is what we actually use and pay money for therefore where I find the bugs.

I probably should join Mozilla, Ubuntu, KDE and Gnome too - that's going to be a lot of catching up to do just to fix one bug in each.

Can you see what I'm saying? feedback is valuable to those projects but they are ignoring it, if the only way people can get a bug fixed is by spending 10s or 100s of hours getting involved, there is something wrong.


If you contact Red Hat support you'll get immediate help. If you have a support contract you shouldn't be filing bugs in Bugzilla, since the support team will do that for you, and chase the developers to get things fixed. Your support contract will make all this clear.


That's not been my experience, it's like in bugzilla but your oscillating between "waiting on customer" and "waiting on redhat" and the people your talking to don't really understand the problems and so have to ask someone else everytime.
