I am setting up a new server for a customer. We have always used RedHat distros and I'm comfortable with them. I was going to purchase Enterprise Server ES basic edition today. At a cost of $350 US it isn't out of line for a years worth of updates and bug fixes. I phoned their presales support line just to see if their support was as good as it was the last time I called (maybe two years ago). In the course of the conversation I asked if I was allowed to install the OS on more than one server or if the update rpms were available for download to a subscriber. The answer to both questions was NO. Now I have a bit of a quandry. The server I'm building is a medium office general purpose system. There is a good chance it will be running Oracle which is only supported on a couple of distros. But I want to stick to the same platform across most of the sites I support and the Redhat ES is going to be a bit rich for most of them. -- Alan Madill - Aspen House Systems 250 567-4200 _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
