or that 'tire kickers' would eat up bandwidth pulling ISO's
that most will never effectively use, of a release which is
largely RHL 7.2 -- it is not GPL required as to providing
ISO's (here or elsewhere) --  Why spend that resource in a
non-wide market realm?  As it says: "So if you use Red Hat
Linux to burn MP3s and frag your friends playing Quake,
Advanced Server is not for you."

ummm ... perhaps this is better said 'which is the only way
you can get RHN binary updates' -- ftp mirroring of the
updates and application through a non up2date tool still
works.
