If RHEL has to compete on the bits, RHEL has already lost. RHEL is about support and such, and if you see no value in it, you probably don't need RHEL. Very very few places fall into this trap of buying RHEL and not using the support, but even those that do, buy it for the ABILITY to get support even if they never use it. Personally I see CentOS as strengthening the RHEL brand, as sites that start with CentOS then realize they need support should be able to easily migrate to RHEL given that everything is the same. Much harder to do that from say Fedora or Debian. > > Anyway.. Jesse: could you post any version of this FAQ to the Legacy > website?

Eric, can you integrate the FAQ into the front page of fedoralegacy.org ? Once that is done, I'll change DNS for download.fedoralegacy.org to point to fedoralegacy.org. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub)
