extend EOL for Red Hat Linux 9?

[duncan brown]

oh man, you're reminding me of my first two bosses when i first became a sysadmin (two managers for a 4 person team).  =]

real quotes:
f: (addressing a co-worker when she thought no one could hear her) "if it were up to me, you wouldn't get a lunch break"
f: "people who work 40 hours a week do not get raises, people who work over 50-60 hours do"
f: "of course you don't get paid for overtime, you're salaried"
m: "this is the second time in two weeks that you're more than 2 minutes late to work"
m :(i arrived at work at 8 and left at 6) "early day today?  staying late tomorrow?"

of course, this was someone who claimed to be an engineer and a sysadmin for 20+ years, but couldn't get their head around routing tables.

oh, and the classic.

m: "what the hell is an arp cache?"

the female boss sounded like she was from germany, but no one was really clear on where she was from.  the 've haf vays uf makink you talk!' jokes flew often =]

Time will end all my troubles, but I don't always approve of Time's methods.
