RedHat 6.0 is Out

I bought the boxed set from RedHat the first time and have been getting the cheap CD's after that. I figure that RedHat is providing a service that I feel is valuable and they would like to be paid for their efforts -- no problem. But paying the full price every six months? I feel like I've paid my dues (the RedHat tax?). Especially considering RH's place in the OpenSource for-profit food chain. If everyone who used RH bought once, they'd be rolling in dough. Some famous Dead White Male once said that if you can will it as a universal it passes muster, so I think this is ethically OK
Well, not actually having one it's hard to say but... I personally would spend the same dollar ammount in a different way, like four boxes with 512MB RAM on a 100meg switch. Think of the possibilities!
