AFAIR Red Hat's big issue with alternate provider CD's having the Red Hat
name/logo on them was that they(Red Hat) were getting too many consumers
expecting free tech support with their "official" disc's. Please correct me if I
am wrong on this.
I don't have a particular vested interest in this issue (I neither buy nor
sell Linux CD's in this manner) and am only speaking up to clarify a point.
