I was thought RHEL was licensed per machine.

Isn't that why you can't download the iso's without paying.

If not then my bad.

What are you guys really that stupid, or is it you think that we are?



The license is non-transferable so you will not be able to redistribute copies of the CD's.

Since forbidding copies of RH cd's would upset too many people (due to
many more licensing requirements) it is much better from legal,
political and economical points of view to simple drop MP3 support.

Are you really so upset with RH just because of "minor" issues like lack
of mp3 support or wine with some changes that broke your use of wine?

Are these two petty features what you'd deem worth enough for a
GNU/Linux distribution?

*sigh*

There is a fine line between genius and lunacy, fear not, walk the
line with pride. Not all things will end up as you wanted, but you
will certainly discover things the meek and timid will miss out on.
