Re: [rhn-users] New version on redhat

["Brice" <brice acedsl com>]

Thank you Tony.

Fedora is nice for hard core developper but for a small company which
develops solution, I need a more stable environment.
If I want to use Linux  I have to invest money tand effort (Dev + QA) to
port applications from Solaris to Linux.
The $179 version won't work as it is a workstation solution, not a server
one. For this, with no support I have to pay $349 per machine per year. With
support it is $799 per year per host. I'll have to check with SUN and see if
it is worthwhile porting.

My 2 cents.
