... there goes the ball game. It worked fine as long as you could
recommend the client pick up a boxed copy and sign up for a RHN
subscription. Now it looks like all that is left is SUSE, until
some one else puts a distro on the shelf at Bestbuy(or whatever).
Note, however, that if a majority of RedHat Linux users *did* purchase
the boxed set (as opposed to merely talking about it), RedHat might not
have decided/been_forced_to change their business model...
It isn't that talk is cheap... it is that talk doesn't pay the staff... :-)
