Red Hat News: Edu Prices, Progeny Support for 7.X
thx2001r writes "According to News.com, Matthew Szulik (perhaps driven by recent slashdot questions in this regard) of Red Hat has set educational pricing for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation ($25 per year for students) and (RHEL AS) server ($50 per year for the schools). Here are the details of the versions available at educational discounts." And for business users wary of Red Hat's high-priced Enterprise version (and happy using an older version), iroberts writes "Beginning January 1, 2004, Progeny will offer software updates for users of Red Hat(R) Linux(R) 7.2 and 7.3. Pricing is $5 per machine per month; or a flat rate of $2,500 per month for unlimited machines. The Fedora Legacy Project is discussing how this will impact their work."
to get rid of goatse and all similar stuff, install adblock for mozilla (adblock.mozdev.org), block goatse.cx/* and you will never see it.
Where I live (Louisiana State) you can legally get Windows XP from the University for 10 bucks.
Cant someone just post the updates on a public ftp server
Not only can they, they are doing it right now. Dunno how long it will last, but if there's one thing the internet has taught us - people are always one step ahead of companies. There's an amazing strength in mobility, the RIAA can attest to that. We'll find new ways to pirate mp3 faster than they can stop us, and we'll update our OS however we want to. Keep on.

Hello Gentlemen,
I just poured a steaming bowl of hot grits down my pants!
What SCO is doing to universities running Linux is no laughing matter. This is causing us some serious headaches, and due to non-IT management may cost some of us our jobs. Seems they don't like it too well when their "free" cost-saving NOS suddenly has a fee to it. Justified or not, I bet we have Windows 2003 in here by next semester. Thanks, SCO.
Thats 3 posts from you in this same thread. Try putting em all into one post next time!
But if I did that, I would get 1/3 the Karma, Buck-O!
