That's why I prefer Mandrake even if Red Hat seems more functional. Mandrake 
has a much better business model through the Mandrake Club, and doesn't 
harrass customers the way Red Hat does.

A local vendor here in my place once scared customers that buying Red Hat 
demands strict license compliance, or else face a humiliating general audit. 
I then thought it was FUD, but now I think it's indeed true.
