What good would it do to users if RedHat had to stop distributing on-line and increase prices due to software patent licensing? What good would it do to users if RedHat had to stop distributing at all and close the doors? It's not like one is out of luck. RedHat doesn't bring some software with it, oh *poor me* here's buckloads of download sites. Some easier (rpm packages like at freshrpms and other places) some not so easy but still very easy (./configure; make ; make install). If one can't do it because he doesn't know, well, I didn't know it either until I learned. Learning is good you lazy bastards users from hell ;) Rui -- + No matter how much you do, you never do enough -- unknown + Whatever you do will be insignificant, | but it is very important that you do it -- Gandhi + So let's do it...?
