Are you people really that stupid?

The software that is being charged for are proprietary support tools that were developed by Red Hat developers and supported by Red Hat. The core OS and general tools that NOT specific to the RHEL and NOT DEVELOPED BY RED HAT, are still available FREE OF CHARGE!!!

RTFA for crying out loud! Another thing that people are paying for is SUPPORT! You know, you NMB'rs are alway whining about "who is accountable when it breaks" Well ding dongs, they are charging to support your needs! Red Hat is standing up to the plate and saying here we are! If it breaks call us, it's just going to cost you. Just like Microsoft, Macintosh and just about every other Software company out there.

So one more time, read the article, listen to what actaul Linux users have been saying for a long time now. Pay attention to DETAIL! And to think some of you people are in charge of supporting software, let alone writing it! Makes me wonder if you even read the darn specifications BEFORE you start coding!

Whew, rant over. Sorry slipped back to my Navy days of getting a clear message across, well more clearly!
