圣雄甘地的名言："First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win."
- Mohandas Gandhi
今天了看到 redhat.com | Truth Happens，很有意思，当前 Redhat 已经前进到了“Then they fight you.”的阶段了，还引用了各个阶段某些人说的话：First they ignore you…

"…we think of [Linux] as a competitor in the student and hobbyist market. But I really don't think in the commercial market, we'll see it in any significant way."
— Bill Gates, Chairman, Microsoft (1999)

Then they laugh at you…

"We'll be number one in Linux by a long shot… "I'll challenge our Linux experience against Red Hat any day."
— Scott McNealy, CEO, Sun (October 2000)

Then they fight you…

"At Sun, as I said, it's tough to compete against a social movement, especially one in which we all believe. But compete against a single company, Red Hat? Finally."
–Jonathan Schwartz, President, Sun (July 2004)
希望 2005 年 Redhat 能够有更好的表现。
