I totally agree I am the sysadmin for a *very* small company which we operate in the free time outside of our normal jobs as addiction medics. Our profit levels are so low that we cannot justify a RH support contract *because* CentOS exists. Of all the *many* mailing-lists that i am on i find the CentOS (and the linux-poweredge list from Dell) to be the most polite and informative. If i ever get to deploy my parachute and exit the NHS then i am really looking forward to lurking on the irc chans as well (pesky NHS firewall and aup). Our production server will be installed into NHS Lothian's network once 5.2 comes out and i am *more* than happy with the "It'll be done when it's done" answer. Thanks again for all the work that you guys do! mike _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
