For many sites, Big Brother is free. You only need to purchase a license if the systems being monitored are used to actually generate money. It does get confusing at times - a mail server for an ISP would need to be licensed, but a mail server for my company would not (since mail is not what we use to make our revenue). I believe that somebody has been working on a totally open source version of Big Brother, called, I think, Little Sister. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
