Ah, ok.  That makes much more sense, context wise.  Thanks for your
further clarification.  One thing I'm not thrilled about is the one year
of free RHN support - but it's hard to complain about not getting it all
for free and still recognize that RH is a business.  I suppose that with
7 or 8 machines I should very probably shell out some $$ for support
past the one year mark.  Still beats what M$ is pushing.

Heh.  Does that mean the market for Linux has matured?

Are the halcyon days of 1998 are back?
