This > is my sole point. :-) and you are doing it again, 'RHEL/CentOS'. centos is only one group's hashing of rhel source. you use them together as if they are one in same, when actually they are not. similar yes, but not same. just as rhel and sl are similar, but not same. if one uses centos, they are only using rhel source modified by centos. just as using sl is using rhel source. so, as a personal choice, i will continue with sl. i would rather be a 'tester' aiding *critical research*, than a *group filling their pockets*.
