How stupid can RedHat be if the "free" version is a "Duh" and the "Pro" 
version is the only one with "Wow!"?  I tried the public release of RH9, and 
it stank.  Didn't have MP3, didn't have interfaces for importing data or 
fonts from a Windows partition.  Sure the interface was smooth - so's a blank 
slate, which is pretty much what I got.  The phrase "dumbed down" comes to 
mind.

That and announcing that they're going to stop distributing updates for the 
non-subscription releases and I think they're going very much in the wrong 
direction.  

They will HAVE to release at least the source of the subscription distros, 
althoug going through a Gentoo compile to end up with a RedHat installation 
is pretty useless...
