[K12OSN] ummmm...RHPWS?

[Jim Kronebusch]

Wow!  I never thought I would see Linux prices reach that of
Microsoft...at least not this soon.  I wonder if this has to do with all
of the hype with IBM.  I can't imagine there is any Linux option out
there that is polished enough for a standard end user to justify that
price.  Oh well, more power to them, at least it is still open source so
there is free options...for now.

$179 !!!!!!!!!!  about 4 times what it used to cost on the store shelves
and what do you get for that extra,  not a single thing more that RH9
(features, it is updated but no more than say fedora)
