Re: Redhat licensing

Jesse,

You hit the nail on the head with your statement for me, thanks!
I really want to support redhat but the licensing costs for me to 
migrate over to a wholly RHEL 3 platform is too expensive on a per year 
basis. Heck if microsoft can give free updates with windows updates, i 
don't see why redhat can't either. Maybe there should be a seperation 
between paying for updates and paying for support.

Regards,
Alvin
