Yea, I agree it would be an expense on RH side to supply CDs, but it may pass as a paid service for us big corporate users (but I'm still thinking on that one). The krud site is interesting, seems they are doing the same thing that I'm doing. smbinyon

Even if RedHat supplied the CD for free (not a good move), the costs of international shipping and the delays are not worth it. The Internet is--by far--the most efficient means to distribute such a thing; it's just that the infrastructure in many places needs to catch up. But the *physical* transport of stuff is too expensive. Thank God in a few days I'm out of this country and back to Guatemala and my DSL line (flow-limited to 128Kbps, but what the hell). <smile> -- Rodolfo J.
