Hi Gareth,
Three words.
"DEAD RAT SUCKS"
and its true, imho.
Before everyone flames me again I do acknowledge that RedHat the company
does a lot of good stuff for Linux, its just a shame their distro is swiss
cheese.
Get one of your RedHat engineers and show them what a real distro can do.
You'll convert them easily enough, and then the problem the boss see's will
no longer be relevant.
Cheers,
Marty
