RHEL is only as good as the FC it come from.

I can only hope that some day management in RH will look at the archives and fire some of the developers for making excuses instead of patches. > > Pick your poison - just don't complain if you haven't put in the effort to make > sure things work for you. > > -- > Cheers!
