You're wrong :-)

It most definitely does *NOT* have a $179/year price tag.

It's not missing all of the server applications, even if it's identical
to RHEL WS.  Here's the list of server apps that I took from the taroon beta:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ewilts]$ grep server up2date.showall.ws
mysql-server-3.23.58-1.i386
openssh-server-3.6.1p2-18.i386
rh-postgresql-server-7.3.4-4.i386
rsh-server-0.17-17.i386
rusers-server-0.17-31.1.i386
telnet-server-0.17-26.i386
vnc-server-4.0-0.beta4.1.1.i386

httpd, sendmail, and postfix are also included.  For a small office, WS
is pretty good - no FTP server or named, but other than that you're
pretty close to everything you could want.  You've got ssh, sql, and web
servers, and you could use zoneedit or something like that for your dns.
If you want an ftp or dns server, you can add that easily enough.

I'm suspecting that we'll like the new product more than the old RHL
product, but of course we'll both have to wait and see what the pricing
is like and what the rest of the details are.
