I installed Redhat 6.1 on a friends computer and I was excited when I saw a link to an auto-update program on the gnome bar. I was dissapointed to find that one could not use it with the downloaded version and you had to buy the real version to use it. Then I went to Redhat's website for more information and learned that if you bought the basic $30 copy of Redhat you only got 30 days of use of the update program. Why should I have to pay $30 for a month of use of the update program when I can use MandrakeUpdate for free with Mandrake 6.1. They probably just used the source code for MandrakeUpdate anyway. The whole point of Linux is that people can have a free, among other things, operating system and that pople aren't forced to pay for something that doesn't even work right half the time (hint hint Windows). I personally will not use a distribution that tries to force people to purchase the commercial version.
The last thing I would want on a console is an MS OS. I don't want to have games crashing every fifteen minutes. "A fatal exception error has occured. Blitz2001.exe will be forced to shut down."

Didn't Chernobyl happen in 1984? I could be wrong but that's the one thing I clearly remember from Chem class.
Does anyone know if this server will support games such as Q3test, specificaly on a TNT?
