Re: [rhn-users] New version on redhat

[Oswald Wyler <owyler suscom-maine net>]

I saw the appended message from Michel-André and tried to find out more
about the new Professional Workstation version of RedHat Linux and tried
to find out what it does, in comparison with RHL 8.0 or RHL 9.  As one
of many RHL users with just one workstation who are going to be thrown
to the wolves by the new profit-hungry and mean RedHat, I tried to find
out what this version does in comparison to 8.0 or 9.  No luck!
Can somebody help me with this?
