Other people's responses have been correct, but I wanted to point out that there is no proprietary software in Advanced Server. Everything is licensed under free software licenses (GPL, etc.). Any restrictions from Red Hat are only on your ability to get support from Red Hat if you don't pay for each Advanced Server copy on all the servers you're using it on at the organization. Of course, talk to a Red Hat salesperson for an official answer. :) Jimmy ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
