Note that RedHat does not charge for license fees for RHEL. All you have to pay for is the yearly subscription. Consulting is consulting and is not support. CentOS is dependent on RedHat. If money is to be spend on a support contract then just use RHEL and give the money to RedHat. If you need consulting then contract for a consultant. -Connie Sieh > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >
