I mean, isn't that kida the point of linux? </cite> That is the point. It seems like RH is not releasing the ISO images of the enterprise version (Pensacola) for downloading, that is, they are releasing it on CD only and can therefore charge for the distribution (not the software itself, but everything else). I think Bob also mentioned that they might be closing CVS access to the Enterprise level as well. While this makes perfect sense from a business point of view, it seems to strike a sour note with those people who would rather just have the software without going through the trouble of supporting the entity that maintains it. Red Hat is not Debian. This is neither good, nor bad. Some people will always like Debian, some will always like Red Hat, and some people will use both because in the end a linux is a linux is a linux. Samir M.
