Munzir, I have been involved in many volunteer intiatives in the last 10 
years. I don't mind giving my time and more for the sake of the common 
interest (or even for fun). I do however appreciate when proper tools 
are used to help volunteers do their work as effectively as possible. 
Having to send a couple of mails to solve a login issue is acceptable. 
When it takes several days each time before you get an answer and when 
the answer does not actually solve your problem, you tend to look for 
something else to do.

Time is money, isn't it ? This means redhat may not value the work we 
are doing.

You are very kind and helpful (anaconda is now in your mailbox). The 
matter is not a matter of names and free software will continue with or 
without any individual per se. The point is I can't imagine any valid 
reason for working for ever with inadequate tools. Still, you can send 
other files my way...
