I've been running Mandrake since RH 6.2 so I hadn't look at the RH site 
or product line for a long time.  I went and looked today and it really 
seems to me that RH is starting to price Linux right out of the ballgame.

JMHO, the biggest reason that *NIX (prior to Linux) did not make an 
impact in the small business and home markets was the price.  The small 
guy could not afford a $1500+ OS plus the add-ons needed just to have a 
base platform.  I understand that the RH Enterprise products do provide 
more than SCO ever did, but, maybe someone is starting to get a little 
too greedy!!
