My thoughts too. I can just picture the following happening all over the country:
I am a small business manager. I have 5 or more employees using XP at home. I want a file server for my network. Since I have a number of users that are familiar with Windows and the cost is less than Red Hat, Which server should I choose? If, on the other hand, I had an option of a Red Hat server under $200 with the automatic updates, and installation and configuration help, Red Hat would be nice. Just a little learning curve and I just need to add and delete users as necessary. Does this sound logical from that point of view?

Thank you Mike. That is exactly my point. There has to be that small deployment option. If Fedora is bleeding edge and RH Enterprise Workstation (which is not even supposed to be for small to medium server use) is $179 to $299 dollars then what the heck are people going to do? Suse is a pain because almost all vendor support is very Redhat focused. Suse support is a second thought. On top of that, they take a very Windows-like approach to configuration settings and do a lot of voodo behind the scenes that can muck with custom options. I am not trying to put nails in some non-existent RH coffin or spread FUD. Oh no, I just think that RH has to think about that small to medium size business market and offer a decent option. -- Johnathan Bailes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
