Personally I think we'd have all been better off walking away from anything
related to Red Hat on the day they changed their redistribution policy, but
there wasn't a great alternative at the time. Now there's ubuntu and
OpenSolaris if I weren't too lazy to learn a new administration style. Maybe if
enough people switch RH will go back to selling service without restricting access.
