I lost interest in Linux for ages because of what RH did. It was CentOS that re-ignited my interest. I felt like I could 'get back' what I had lost when Redhat killed RHL. I didn't 'get' the security implications of the rebuild stuff til it was explained to me the other day. I spent some time this morning looking at alternatives to the rebuild type distro because I now realise there are flaws in the approach (not CentOS's fault, before anyone starts!). My day job is a Lotus Domino consultant. Domino is certified to run on RHEL and Suse, AFAIR, so the rebuild is a Godsend. I haven't tried running it on OpenSuse, yet!<br><br><br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family:

Now there's ubuntu and <br>OpenSolaris if I weren't too lazy to learn a new administration style. Maybe if <br>enough people switch RH will go back to selling service without restricting access.<br><br>-- <br> Les Mikesell<br> <a ymailto="mailto:lesmikesell@gmail.com" href="mailto:lesmikesell@gmail.com">lesmikesell@gmail.com</a><br>_______________________________________________<br>CentOS mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:CentOS@centos.org" href="mailto:CentOS@centos.org">CentOS@centos.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos"
