- to change to a free distribution (Slackware, Debian, Gentoo, Mandrake ...)
- to change to a paidware distribution (SuSE, TurboLinux, SCO, Conectiva ...)

x Professional Workstation - $100
x WS - $180
x ES - $350
- to stay with RHL 7.2, 7.3 or 9 and:
x to get updates from Fedora Legacy
x to build yourself updates from RHEL erratas
x to build yourself updates from NET sources
x to paid someone to do dirty job
x to do nothing and cry
