So what are your plans when RH9 support ends? Migrate to Fedora and hope that there is something to Fedora Legacy? (BTW, I like fedora. It seems quite stable to me) Migrate to another free OS such as Debian or a BSD variant. (Both have compelling cases to be migrated to) or purchase RHEL-WS/RHWS? ($179/computer/year is a non-trivial cost) -Chris On Wed, 2003-11-05 at 11:25, Access Systems wrote: > On Wed, 5 Nov 2003 [email protected] wrote: > > > I heard a quote the other day that indicated that someone from redhat did not think that his product was the best desktop for consumer use, I am wondering where it (and the fedora system which is apparently to be the successor) would fit in in an educational setting. > > well the company I work for has RH 9 on all the desktops, we used > Wordperfect until they stopped supporting Linux and have changed to Open > Office suite.... took some getting used to and there was some weeping and > wailing but doubt anyone would change back, also we have profit sharing > so we all like to help the bottom line...haven't had a M$ product here in > 3 years now. > > Bob > > > "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary > safety deserve Neither liberty nor safety", Benjamin Franklin > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > ASCII Ribbon Campaign accessBob > NO HTML/PDF/RTF in e-mail [email protected] > NO MSWord docs in e-mail Access Systems, engineers > NO attachments in e-mail, *LINUX powered* access is a civil right > *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# > THIS message and any attachments are CONFIDENTIAL and may be > privileged.
