RedHat 5.0 included Metro-X as optional X server. The condition was that you could use Metro-X for free on one machine but had to pay Metro-X for addtional installations. It is not expensive in any case. -- hgc

But I don't get charged for a Coke AND a Pepsi when I order the Pepsi.
I don't like having to pay for an OS that I am not going to use when I buy a computer (Intel PC). I am not even asking to have another OS pre-installed. It seems that I pay for the latest MS OS when I buy new H/W whether it is installed or not. I understand that most vendors install Win9x to verify the H/W, but even if they reformat the HD to ship to me, I still pay tribute to Rebmond. This blows...
The MPC860 is a communications controller, so no FPU. However, with some additional Phy H/W, these little buggers could make cool routers. How about Enet to Frame Relay? If they have one with the MPC860SAR, you could do a cool IP (Enet) to ATM. -- hgc

The internet (TCP/IP), Email, BSD, BIND, HTTP, ...
Were all created with our Tax Dollars.
Be more annoyed that a certain company up in WA would like you to pay them for technology that our taxes created.
