ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! Can further discussion under this thread be taken off list? PLEASEEEEEEE! ------James' Reply----- David: While I agree that this thread is a little long in the tooth, it does discuss the value of getting RHEL vice using Fedora, and that is RHEL is supported by Red Hat (and makes some folks feel better) whereas Fedora is supported by US (that is the collective we.) I've also seen, in this thread that Fedora is a hobbyist version and distribution of Linux whereas RHEL is designed for the commercial enterprise. That is true. Also, it allows those of us willing to experiement to find and fix flaws, whether they are oversights of the designers or due to changes in hardware design. And that folks is just about the gist of this thread. And the fact that some folks don't like Microsoft is well known. However, complaining about them does not do anything to change them. And the day's of 'free' software support are just about gone in the MS world. Either you pay, up front or through a support contract, for Microsoft support. These are just my opinions, and feel free to contact me, off the list, about them. -- James McKenzie A Proud User of Linux!
