Wow, I appreciate that you see so much value in RHEL!  It's an honor to
know you feel that way?  I'm curious...  Why don't you actually get RHEL
from Red Hat?

You know, the folks who spend almost $200 million a year on R&D and
engineering?  The folks who contribute more upstream to to the Linux
kernel, X.org, GCC, GLIBC, GNOME, etc. than any other commercial entity
out there?

You know how we do all that?  We sell subscriptions to RHEL and other
F/OSS technologies.  That subscription covers not the bits and bytes,
but the hardening, those contributions upstream, hardware and software
certification, support, etc.

So since you obviously see value in RHEL, why don't you contribute to
what we do by buying a subscription?

You can get into RHEL for $49 for desktop.  You can run your company on
RHEL server for $349.  Is that *really* too much to support all the good
Red Hat does?
