A Web page detailing the program might help. I can't find one on
www.redhat.com. I found what appears to be an announcement of the
program, but no details. That's *very* discouraging. Please fix this!

I've never heard of Pencom/Collective Technologies. I like to think
I'm pretty aware of the industry. I read PC Week, I participate in
inet-access, I've recently undertaken a major job search, yet I've never
heard of them. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of *any* companies that
provide RH-affiliated (official) support, in part because there are no
Web pages about the topic.

X-based utilities aren't always ideally suited for server environments.
Remember, one of Linux's advantages is that it doesn't suffer the overhead
NT does because the Linux GUI, X, isn't mandatory. Providing X-based
tools, while nifty, reduce some of Linux's advantage. I would like to see
more Web-based tools, myself. (Actually, I prefer console/command-line
tools.)
BTW, Robert, it's good to see you posting again. You've been silent
too long.
