Not a problem.  It's good to see a company be realistic about making a profit.  
They've invested heavily in creating the product, and they need to make it 
pay.  Since our company is also interested in making a profit, and we have 
the skillset to use other distro's, we won't be going with them, for now.  
Having said that, there are plenty of people who want to run RH Enterprise and 
pay for the privilege of having the phone answered at 3am.  RH's challenge is 
to find a way to do that and not be as expensive as IBM or Solaris.

Feeling constantly overcharged for support....
