I'd like to reiterate what Mr. Llama said. I do the registration thing because I think their product is worth it. And updates.redhat.com has never prevented me from getting the updates I need. Registered or not. As for printing, wish I could say one way or the other. I haven't setup printing in a very long time. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
