   Well, sorta. I'm a Senior Linux Systems Engineer with a looooooooong proven   
   background in my career. I'm not a developer, but I can program in various   
   languages. Python, C++, PHP, Bash/ZSH, Perl, Ruby, etc..   
      
   But, as a Linux engineer, I know what most of the sysctl things do. I can write   
   custom SELinux policies, and I know how they work from EL6 up. If I had to, I   
   could make custom SELinux policies, painfully, for other distros like Debian,   
   but wouldn't want to since they have absolutely no base policies to start with.   
      
   I'm a secrity expert that knows how to do what the h4xx0rs do, so I also know   
   how to detect them, stop them, and react to them quickly. And the right tools   
   for the job to help with that. ;)   
      
   That sort of thing, anyway. Highly broad, yet very good at it.   
      
    ER>> Yepperding. All bow to Patrick Volkerding, supre.... Nope. Not

    DC> Haha, yes, I understand that thinking. But I would also argue    
    DC> that all those other distros also basically have one Head MoFo in

   Sort of yes and no.   
      
   Debian, for one, has an elected "Head MoFo" that changes every once in a while,   
   as do a few other distros. Commercial distros has the company heads involved,   
   but do you think the company heads run the show? Only to a point, but look at   
   Fedora and CentOS. They are community driven, yet people get paid to work on   
   them and the community involvement.
