You are preaching to somebody who has to use Windows at work. I know the value of linux in general has little to do with purchase cost and a lot to do with overall reliability and functionality of the platform. If you are basing your suggestions to your customers only on overall cost, you are missing a great deal of the message. > To put it bluntly Red Hat has burned a lot of people with this move, > both people on this list who are complaining and people elsewhere. And we shall see how it all shakes out in the months to come. People who do not like the changes will go elsewhere. jb -- Phoebe-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/phoebe-list
