I would like to apologize for stirring the water here.
I never meant for RedHat or anyone else to get
slammed. I was stupidly voicing my opinion before
doing my homework...I know it takes time for things to
change. Thanks for pointin me to the site Donnie. I
hope this list can return to it's normal topic.
Perhaps this thread would be best put to sleep.
Sorry again guys...Can't we all just get along ;)
