Well, RedHat is just about the worst desktop system you can imagine. Whenever I encounter a Redhat system, it feels like I discovered the secret of time travel and went back 5 years. You will have better luck with a desktop centric version such as Mandriva or Ubuntu. Those two are actually nicer than Windows XP.
I actually read the GPL - all versions. The spirit of the GPL hasn't changed. It has always said: If you are a team player, then donate your code modifications back for the greater good and ensure that your users have all the rights that you have. If you are not a team player, then go away, do your own thing and leave us alone.
Unfortunately, as the GPL code corpus grew, various commercial leaches sensed an opportunity to profit off other people's charity. For example Tivo and lately Microsoft. The GPL V3 changed the wording to make it abundantly clear that leaches will not be tolerated and that all users have equal rights. Some users cannot be more equal than others. If you don't want to play, then go away. We don't need you, you need us.
Nothing changed. That has always been the intent of the GPL: "Copyleft, most rights reversed."
Hmm, the FSF is not a church. It is not a gospel. It is not a faith. It is just a bunch of people who think that the best way to spread computer knowledge for the betterment of mankind is to turn software into a free commodity.
You are free to do otherwise. Just write your own software then. Don't leach off other people's charity work for your profit.
A good example is Tivo. Tivo can do whatever they want, provided that they write their own software and don't leach off GPL software. Tivo can either free up their code the way the GPL intends, or they can rewrite their system using Microsoft Windows, or VxWorks, Or Sun Solaris. It is their choice.
That is all that the FSF and the GPL is about.
Although you see yourself as a Jack of All Trades (Master of None), what you are really doing is connecting any and all kinds of computer systems together - Windows, Linux, Sun, Telephones, Video, ISDN, TCP/IP, Satcom, yadda, yadda - and integrating them into a working system. Sir, you are a Network Specialist. Market yourself as a Network Administrator. The reality is that there are many people like you out there, but most of them are not very good at it, since most don't know Jack about anything...
List all the schtuff you know and have done and send it to a professional resume writer. You won't like the result at all, but it is not meant for you, it is meant for the human resources manager that is standing between you and the job you want.

You'll find the resume writers there too. It works. Believe me!
The actual buildings won't look anything like the plans, due to 'cutting of corners' that is endemic in Middle Eastern construction. So instead of a rectangular jail with 1000 rectangular cells, there will be a roughly circular construction, much smaller than planned, with a few large and somewhat rounded out rooms. This is why mosques always have rounded domes. That is the ultimate example of corner cutting...
If the success level is that low, then they are probably using simple dictionary attacks, otherwise there would have been millions of bogus accounts already.
Do they actually yank the wires out and sell them for scrap? If they just rip them out of the punch down blocks then the next company can punch them down again.

For the odd thing that won't run on Linux, VirtualBox, Qemu or VMware and WinXP seems to be quite usable.
An alternative is Apple Mac with Parallels and WinXP.
That works like a charm and when Windoze screws up, you can restore the virtual machine from a backup tar ball.
This is a great idea and will be excellent for my computer security business. Suddenly, everybody will need a Squid Proxy filter system.

I found VMware Server installs and works on a RHEL5 host, but RHEL5 won't install on it!
Why the hell do you RIP and burn? Just copy the damn thing.
Eh? Canadians also use Never Twice the Same Colour same as you. Your RIP must have been from Europe, SA or Aus.
FreeDOS has undelete built in.
It is called "fraud". False advertising is addressed in laws in every state or country, so it is a good thing they are taken to task over this.
go lady, go lady, go lady, go - lady go...
Imagine how fast it would be on Linux.
I think that with Apple's proven commitment to Unix, them owning the copyrights is better.
Maybe now MS can fix their broken Windows? Two hundred patches next patch Tuesday...
You should get annoyed when the CIA does that. As long as it is the FBI, it is OK. That is what they are supposed to do. It is called 'Police Work'.
If they can find a heat sink, then one can run a steam power station there and with some long wires, we can solve our energy crisis...

is looking at Linux? I sure hope so, but I doubt that 74% of their customers can be that smart.
Yah, try to get a root canal done without novocaine...
Sounds like 'medicinal compound' to me.

Imagine a big pile of dead hurricanes on the ocean floor beneath these things - Oh! The Horror!
Why do you need to boot your computer? Are you running Windows ME?
