This also would have been clear had you done some research in advance of your postings here -- not very thorough for someone who appears to have to support himself (and possibly his family) via consultancy work. Ask yourself: What does paying money to Redhat get me? And then go read up on their website. I can save you some of the trouble; in addition to a shiny box with pressed CDs, and phone number to call, a subscription to Redhat support also gets you the Redhat Network (RHN) which is worth the money in itself. In fact, when I last looked at it a couple of years ago, it was superior to Sun's equivalent. FWIW, you may have received a warmer response initially had you come to us with problems, not solutions to perceived problems. It's not that we don't appreciate your position, it's just that your approach was wrong. A bit of research helps you and it saves us rehashing stuff that has been covered before, or obvious to those in the community. -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923 www.knossos.net.nz -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
