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 |

QUOTE(SirAndy @ May 11 2004, 12:55 PM) QUOTE(mikester @ May 11 2004, 01:49 PM) if you're using Redhat to save money on the cost of the OS then you're using Redhat for the wrong reasons entirely. The choice of an operating system should not be the essential cost of the software itself off the shelf but the cost of operating that operating system in a productive manner. Choose an operating system for your business based on what is going to provide the most productive work environment. The most productive work environment is what is going to make you the most money - not saving money on the purchase of an operating system. i use it to run a BBS for a bunch of car-freaks. it's called 914world.com ... check it out on of these days, it's pretty cool! if you like 914s that is.

I wonder what the results of a security scan of the 914club web server would result? |
