I have 0 complaints with CentOS - even the complaints I do have are not really complaints, just me being greedy and fickle. CentOS is, for all intents and purposes, an Enterprise grade product, I salute you guys and girls, who work on it. > You could always learn how to help them get the newest release out there if > time is such an important issue. For the record, I do completely understand that this is a volunteer effort, as I am sure many others have done since the beginning. Time to me, is not an important issue, I can wait for the work to be done, but taking into the account the fact that I'm taking, and not giving, I should have taken the stance that you took, and let people know that this is a volunteer effort. That said ... "WOOHOO - CentOS in three months!" I am free to be happy that there are people out there who are spending their free time, using their knowledge and expertise just to help me do my job better. I say "Thank You" to the volunteers, you make my life so much easier, and your top class work gives me the confidence to deploy CentOS, not only across all our internal linux machines, but our colo facility as well, *and* all our clients. Thank You again, because of your work, I am able to sleep at night not worrying about new system installs, or anything to do with CentOS actually.
