I decided to go ahead and do the survey. The questions are basically,
how often do you use RHN, how many computers you use it on, what's your
job, and how many people in your company. All basic (basically useless
in my case) information. I checked the answers that indicate that I use
it on 1 to 5 personal machines, and that I have a job other than any of
the IT choices they suggested, and I even left the one about company
size unanswered. I did this twice, once for each of the two boxes I had
registered. I received auto-confirmation e-mails that my account was
good for another 60 days within minutes. They don't ask for names, yours
or your businesses, they don't ask for snail-mail addresses... they
already have your e-mail. So you spend about a minute and a half
clicking radio buttons on a web site every two months. <shrug> Seems
reasonable to me.
