My apologies. I have not been keeping up with the developments in the RH world, and hence this analogy. I just read a bit about it and I take my words back. http://www.press.redhat.com/2008/06/19/rhn-satellite-goes-open-source-project-spacewalk/ Of course, it is probably still relevant to some degree that it took them seven years to reach here, and even this is quite a recent development. Of course, nothing changes the fact that this is by itself a very laudable initiative, and addresses one of my long standing grouse against RH. - Sandip _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
