Correct. They are dropping the "end user/consumer" version for the Fedora Project. The only RH "products" will be the RHEL line. > This would seem rather dumb on RH's part, since I doubt they have enough > sales to support the company RH has grown into people wise just by > enterprise sales alone. VERY dumb move on their part ifyou ask me. I agree that RH needs a product priced for the SOHO and small business markets. This is something IMO they currently do not have in their RHEL line of products. Only time will tell if this turns into a disaster. I'm going to miss the boxed sets. I have bought a boxed set for every RH release since 5.2. Hopefully RH will bring them back in the future in some way. Plus now the only way I can support RH (unless I have a future need to an RHEL product) is to buy a subscription to RHN. I prefer to do manual updates and don't use RHN. So I guess I end up buying something that I will probably never put to use. :-P I guess I will consider it the price for a "Fedora boxed set". My big concern is how stable the Fedora Project is going to be with the frequent release schedule. I have not installed any of the Fedora test releases, but I will download and install the final release. This first release is essentially what would have been RH 10. As for releases after this one, my current attitude about the changes is to "wait and see". Regards, Jim "No longer a Red Hat Linux user, but maybe a Fedora Project user" H P.S. I'm typing this out on a Debian install I did 1 1/2 weeks ago. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
