It's the same as installing > webmin on AS 2.1 and asking us to support that. Warning : I have a poor English ! What i don't like in the RHE offer is that server and workstation are too separated. Suppose I buy a RHE AS (at least $1500!, but RedHat do a good jobs, good support, ...) for server purpose. There is no Ooo, cdrecord... but it's not the problem right now. I also want to buy two systems for developers who work on the application that run the server (AS) and/or test new developments. This two systems are also used to write reports by developers, read documentations in word and pdf format, manage the project with mrproject, ... I can't buy 2 WS since this OS miss some packages from AS. Ideally i want : - 1 AS - 2 ES with packages currently only in WS. What i can get from MS : - 1 Window Server - 2 Window Server + Office My three MS systems are fully supported by MS. And Redhat don't offer this. So Redhat could add the packages currently only in WS into AS/ES or provide an "office service pack" to AS/ES. I am don't asking to add packages not in RHE. I want something that merge AS/ES and WS. Since AS and ES is more expensive than WS, i don't really understand the Redhatproblem to add workstation programs to AS/ES. If the system is only used for server purpose, those programs are not used. But Perhaps some customers will buy ES systems (with workstation facilities) instead of WS because ES (+ packages currently only in WS) is a more versatile system. If ES and WS share the same price, i understand that is a problem for Redhat to add workstation facilities to ES. -- Féliciano Matias <feliciano matias free fr>
