Isn't that up to the admins to look, evaluate, and determine whether there's a reason to change? >From what I read (looking at the site for the product), it's another free/open source product, which is being offered. I didn't read anything that indicated that Mark was suggesting that anyone move away from what they're using...only that there's a product out there for sysadmins to take a look at, and decide for themselves if it's something that they're interested in. If the original message had looked like Mark was trying to sell a product, I'd be more inclined to agree with your questioning him, directly. Since neither product is a sold product, at least in base form, then I would think it's up to the admins in question to determine whether or not they want to take the time to check it out, or to simply live with what they have and move on. Of course, that could just be me. :-D -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
