From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Redhat dose some questionable stuff, especially all that union busting bs but it's far from the worse employer and if you love foss you probably do something you love there.

I agree, I am certain that there are thousands of great and passionate about FOSS people there. I'm just not that certain about IBM ;) It's still probably better place to work at than most.

All in all, I am only saying that the fact that somebody cites "personal reasons" doesn't mean there are no other factors at play.
