Re: Was my decission to buy RH 6.0 Official a wise one?

Hi Alexsander,

I've bought them since 4.2. Even though I usually DL or buy a custom-pressed cd to install before 
the official set ships. I like have the bound docs and also the safety net of bein able to fallback on 
RH if something goes south. That free support period is from the time you register, not from when 
you buy. So even if something gets out of whack 5-6 months from now, you may be able to get 
help from RH Support if the problem could be attributed to a bad install (many things can;-)

Cheers,

Trent The Thief
