In short, yes. 1) Who never told you? The salesman at CompUSA? They prolly don't know themselves. Redhat? It has been known for a couple months around here that 8.0 was due out soon. 2)You can download it for FREE or buy it on CD from cheapbytes.com for about $4.00 US (actually cheapbytes prolly has a different name but says something like "based on RedHat 8.0" due to some patent or something I vaguely remember from a year or so ago). 3) So which company has good business practices? None that I know of. Even the one I work for does stuff that is questionable. At least in isn't an Enron or Worldcom or ms software assurance rip off. I'm sure the store you bought from would be happy to exchange if you have your receipt. -- Tom Wilson Reg.
