Tom, it's long been considered poor form to look a gift horse in the mouth. RedHat is controlling its costs, as every responsible business does. It is in the interests of its shareholders, employees and customers for it to do so. If you don't like RedHat's products or their support policies, then you should just look elsewhere. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lead Product Developer Network Server Solutions Group Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/smallbusiness Phone: +1 (613) 592 5660 or 592 2122 Fax: +1 (613) 592 1175 -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Searchable archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
