How, by opening up the development > process and sponsoring a community centric linux distribution? What I'm surprised by is the large sentiment that Red Hat has given up. For those of us, and I'm hoping that it was large percentage of us, that bought RHN subscriptions, Red Hat Professional Workstation is an excellent platform to go to. For only $82 (buy.com), you're getting what you used to pay $60 for (RHN), plus the CDs. You get all the updates and the longer life that this stable platform gives you. It's still based on open source, and the price is relatively low cost. It's missing a few server packages but not that many that most people will notice. Apache, sendmail, postfix, imap, sshd, nfs server, samba - they're all there. It's what I'm running at home, and I certainly have no complaints. It's the Enterprise product (RHEL WS to be exact) with the consumer price. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
