RE: Redhat Tomcat support
Agree. Whether O/S is Red hat or Debian, I also download tc from apache site and install it. -Original Message- From: QM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: March 14, 2005 5:05 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Redhat Tomcat support On Mon, Mar 14, 2005 at 03:57:28PM -0600, Trice, Jim wrote: :I'm relatively new to Tomcat support.

RE: Redhat Tomcat support
Personally, I've never gotten anything from Redhat but a bill. Their support agreement is a masterpiece of extracting the maximum money for the minimum in actual support. Pretty much anything you might actually need help with is carefully excluded. -Original Message- From: QM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 5:07 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Redhat Tomcat support On Mon, Mar 14, 2005 at 03:57:28PM -0600, Trice, Jim wrote: : [snip] : RedHat support for Tomcat?

RE: Redhat Tomcat support
All, Thanks for the feedback. I'm coming from an environment that was more SUN than anything else and my experience with Redhat support has been very limited. This helps.
