I never said that it was bad that RedHat dropped support for mp3. True 
mp3 is patented and it is better not to be used. Debian also doesn't 
include mp3 in it's main repository (it includes it in the non-free 
repository). All users are encouraged to use ogg vorbis instead of mp3. 

But about users using RedHat anyway, I don't think so. Recent studies 
has shown that it has lost to SuSE in recent months. RedHat fortunately 
doesn't have a monopoly in the Linux market, and users will always 
continue to have choice.

And my only objection to that guy, was his use of the word "linux 9"
