If RHEL has to compete on the bits, RHEL has already lost. RHEL is about
support and such, and if you see no value in it, you probably don't need
RHEL. Very very few places fall into this trap of buying RHEL and not using
the support, but even those that do, buy it for the ABILITY to get support
even if they never use it. Personally I see CentOS as strengthening the RHEL
brand, as sites that start with CentOS then realize they need support should
be able to easily migrate to RHEL given that everything is the same. Much
harder to do that from say Fedora or Debian.

Eric, can you integrate the FAQ into the front page of fedoralegacy.org ?
Once that is done, I'll change DNS for download.fedoralegacy.org to point to
fedoralegacy.org.
