Right, which is fine.  Then why not put out a "RH for newbies" 
version of the distro and charge a little more than the base distro?

Ironically, RH is attempting to target the enterprise which actually 
*does* have a lot of experienced Unix admins, and these practices of 
assuming to "know what's best" and thinking for us are really 
annoying a lot of professional sysadmins.
