I am required to use RHEL in my day job (I'd much rather that than be forced to use Windows). Their long support cycles make it not as much of an issue. Along with the situation in many enterprises (standardized configuration which is centrally controlled; specific apps tested for compatibility before deployment), it works out rather nicely. Since you have to pay for it, it makes the higher ups and the bean counters happy since they are buying licenses and they have widgets to count. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
