Yeah, but I wonder how long Dag's site will be around.  RedHat has 
started legally attacking non-RH sites that use their name or even link 
to them, so I wonder how long it will be before they hit Dag and make 
him remove all trademarks/references/links/etc to RedHat.  (Oh, oh, I 
used the 'RH' word, I wonder if a lawyer is going to come knocking on my 
door?)
