This kind of length would directly compete with the RHEL product line, and that is not a goal of Legacy. Educational institutes have HEAVY discounts on RHEL products now, including site licenses with RHN Proxy service included. Legacy's goal is to service the folks that fall in between the rapid pace of Fedora and the enterprise pace of RHEL. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraLegacy) Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
