Because that's what wrongheaded folks would rather do than being happy that there's at least one Linux distributor that's actually able to make a profit!

Hi, My Cyrus-imapd RPMs work (means you have to rebuild from source rpm) on RedHat 2.1AS+ES and I have not heard of any problems with RH Network. Please note that only the newest version cyrus-imapd-2.1.13-4.src.rpm builds correctly on RedHat ES.

RHAS 2.1 (and ES, the difference being, AFAICT, support) are basically just 7.2/7.3 systems (more the former, I think). So, if it works with 7.2, it should work with RHAS. 3rd party RPMs should be just fine; I have a few customers using up2date and they don't have any problems with the RPMs I've installed. My current strategy for my customers is to maintain them all at 7.3 until towards the end of the year, at which time I'm guessing RHAS 2.2 will be out, to which I will them move my customers.
