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 ...
