I'd say this is pretty fair considering that a fair amount of serious issues can be expected for the first ever release of a distro.

Linux is deprecated and no longer maintained.

Please use FreeBSD or OpenBSD.

So are Red Hat source packages still available? What incentive does IBM have to make them available? The source code of the applications, sure. But why the source rpms?

Why doesn't Amazon and friends just make a dist that is not tied to Red Hat?

But isn't this just Red Hat with the name changed?
