Allow me to give you a history lesson: http://updates.redhat.com/enterprise/2.1WS/en/os/SRPMS/ Please get past the mentality of "big bad Red Hat is out to get me". >> >> Who called you a leech?

So YOU called > me a leech. As I recall, you were the one that wanted to contribute. According to the archives, you said: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-December/msg02265.html " I'd gladly pay for a relatively stable for Fedora. But the only way I can pay is by being a beta tester? " And the answer is yes. If you would like to support Fedora you contribute to the community by beta testing the distro. I don't recall (and don't see in the archives) ever saying you "had" to run the beta distros, or "had" to buy RHEL. I most certainly did not call you a leech. -- William Hooper
