so, if i understand this right, RedHat Linux just went to a yearly subscription model, ranging from $179 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS) to $2499 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS) PER YEAR ...
WTF??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) so, now i have to pay $179 each year to use Linux as a desktop workstation? this is nuts ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Andy |

Andy,
I can wax eloquent on this -- but it's easy. They wanna make more money. They shot the box ("use Fedora if you are a home hobby type person") in order to drive people to the per-CPU licensing they are running on the RHEL line of distros. And on that line, they charge what the upper end of the market will bear. There are those of us aiming to fix it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (keep an eye on this space) kim. http://www.SpecifixInc.com |
