You probably like urpmi more than up2date, the Drak tools more than Red Hat's tools, the MDK support lists more than the Red Hat lists, and MDKs goal of making Linux easier to use for newbies... but you're more inclined to reward Red Hat because of what they _don't_ do.

Now if you've got only so much to give (as we all do) and you choose to give it to a project that operates strictly by volunteer efforts, hey, you have my blessing ;-) Miark Aspiring BSD Developer Please send PayPal donations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
