Okay I'll add my two cents worth as well. RedHat is a "for profit" company, so they provide different product streams with different benefits. Do we need them, no. Fedora/Ubuntu/Debian/Mandriva will do us fine because we know (or should know) what we're doing. For orgs that do not have a SLUG super geek at hand, RedHat support gives them sense that they can a) Have someone they can call for help, and b) Have someone to blame when it does go wrong. -- James Purser Producer/Presenter - Linux Australia Update http://k-sit.com - My Blog http://la-pod.k-sit.com - Linux Australia Update Podcast,Blog and Forums Skype: purserj1977 SIP: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
