Not knowing any better, just with the added name "Enterprise" we now add
for the basic version $130 or $13 per letter or for the standard $200 or
$20 per letter - doesn't make sense. What are they adding that's more
value for the bucks you spend? Cost of Living hasn't increased by that
much? It's these increases that drive the Cost of Living UP UP UP. or am
I missing something? where is the value?

And where and how is Fedora linked to Red Hat Linux? All I have come to
read and see is that it will replace Red Hat's RPM and not Linux.
