What! I bought the Redhat 5.2 boxed set BECAUSE Redhat has been
marketing their distribution to include BRU2000 Personal Edition. Are
you telling me that Redhat 5.2 doesn't include something Redhat 5.1
*did* include? Ack! I "pre-ordered" 5.2 when 5.1 was still available.
Looks like I got gyped...
I've been running some home-brew bash scripts that are wrappers around
mt, tar and find. I had hoped to try something a little better. If BRU
isn't included in Redhat 5.2, I will do my best to get my money back. I
was already running Redhat 5.2 that I ftp'ed and burned onto a CD-R
myself, and got the boxed set because I expected some added value. I
don't mind supporting Redhat, but I'm not rolling in cash right now, and
was only able to justify it because of BRU being bundled....
