“LASER5 is quitting its development of “Japanese Red Hat
Linux 6.0” and is going to sell its original branded
distribution named “LASER5 Linux 6.0″, which is 99% Red Hat
compatible (like Mandrake).”
“Red Hat is insufficient because… its business management is
volatile… the delay between releases is… large… to pay
dividends to Red Hat, LASER5 had to raise the price… very
high…”
On its daily news wire, LWN

Japanese press release.
