"One of the first
converts<http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/soa/Oracle_yet_to_tip_Red_Hat/0,130061733,339274627,00.htm>to
Oracle's support for Linux said it has endured a public
backlash<http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/soa/Oracle_Linux_adopters_labelled_idiots_/0,130061733,339274640,00.htm>since
its decision to drop Red Hat. 'Melbourne company Opes Prime
Stockbroking told ZDNet Australia that in the weeks following its
announcement to adopt Oracle Linux, upset Linux enthusiasts phoned, e-mailed
and wrote about the company online to complain at the decision. "People
called us out of the blue to tell us we were idiots," said Opes executive
director Anthony Blumberg.'"*
