--- original message -- I'm confused as to what you're asking. If you'd like to pay someone for supporting your Linux distribution, then maybe SL have a donation system?
I honestly don't understand what criteria you're trying to meet, are you just more comfortable with paying for something that getting something for free? Michael. > Chris Howard ----------------------- Right now I run yum periodically, then sweat bullets if there are any kernel updates, or just don't run yum. I would rather have someone to yell at if an automatic update breaks things. In theory I could put oracle on a spare box and test it right? Wrong, because licensing for another app server box is many thousands of dollars. The cheapest OUL subscription is something like $200/year and I think that will just let me slurp from their update stream which is all I really want anyway. I've been happy with not doing updates very often. But now I have some (microsoft type) people asking me why I don't have a regular pattern of updates to apply. The best answer is, "Because my system actually works." But that is inconvenient in the given circumstances.
