	Ooooh this ought to be fun!  I can see it now - 
Customer: "I paid for AS and run Apache that uses MySQL from Fedora and my
Apache seems broken...."
RH: "That's an easy fix! Uninstall MySQL"
	What's next - "Red Hat Enterprise Linux a la Cart Services
Click-n-Run (now with Lapatifamine(tm))"?  Wait... Lindows already has that
one covered....

	So - the price of AS didn't increase, unless, of course, you wanted
a database with that...... nice.  Man, I can see I really gotta brush up on
my German.
