FWLIW, I feel that for any system one would consider a production server the cost of Red Hat ES is well within the range of even a small shop. In fact, I have been looking at moving my personal/hobby server to ES (probably this summer). Using RH (or RH Pro) on any system where something critical lives is not all that good of an idea. This is not to say that RH 8 or 9 (and future versions) _can't_ be used as such. I've still got RH 7.x systems in a production environment. They aren't where the business processes are but they are very important to how work gets done. You need to use the right tool for the right job. -- Paradise; can it be all I heard it was? I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there.
