You know, it sorta annoys me when I see people even hint at b&c'ing about
stuff that is 'FREE' or in some cases for a VERY VERY 'moderate' charge
if you get the Boxset in comparison to other 'unix' style OS's. I for one
am
grateful that people have even taken the time to put together such a
incredible
piece of software that rivals even the best of OS's. So why not spend a
little
less time whining about what the guys at RH haven't done and enjoy whats
in front of you. I am sure that all the problems will eventually get worked
out.
