If RHEL has to compete on the bits, RHEL has already lost.  RHEL is about=20
support and such, and if you see no value in it, you probably don't need=20
RHEL.  Very very few places fall into this trap of buying RHEL and not usin=

the support, but even those that do, buy it for the ABILITY to get support=

even if they never use it.  Personally I see CentOS as strengthening the RH=
EL=20
brand, as sites that start with CentOS then realize they need support shoul=
d=20
be able to easily migrate to RHEL given that everything is the same.  Much=
=20
harder to do that from say Fedora or Debian.

Once that is done, I'll change DNS for download.fedoralegacy.org to point t=

fedoralegacy.org.
