Heh, thanks for the chuckle - I needed that! I agree with Tom's posting here, quite well written. I spoke with couple reps from RedHat and there's a deal whereby if you buy the RHEL Proxy ($2500 USD, incl RHAS), you can get Enterprise workstation for $25 USD/seat in quantities over 100. That's one hell of a price break - so 100 seats comes out to $5000 - Which I feel is a good price. Unfortunately the Head of the Department doesn't. He also doesn't understand that it's going to cost a good chunk of change to migrate to another distro in terms of worker hours. I absolutely love Redhat. Sadly enough - the way things are going, it's really going to suck having to stop using it here. Make no mistake! I'm not blaming redhat for this. Thanks for your response, Erik. -- e r i k w i l l i a m s o n erik(a)cpsc.ucalgary.ca system admin . department of computer science . university of calgary

And "no-no" means what?
