I agree that where he's from is irrelevant - we've seen the same of
Indians, and French, I think... and more than enough lazy American idiots,
as well.
However, he is, indeed, pulling what I referred to in my proposed FAQ as
"asking us to do his job for him". And, for that matter, if he actually
*has* RHEL, he's presumably paid for it, and it's his *job*, for which he
is presubably getting paid, and he wants us to do it for free.
