[aclug-L] Re: FW: Red Hat Network ...

[ironrose <ironrose@xxxxxxx>]

I am having problems getting updates from RedHat.  I'm bombarded with 
emails informing me of patches that are available, but it many times 
takes several attempts to get connected to their servers and then when I 
do, my user id and password isn't accepted.  Emails back and forth 
haven't resolved the issue yet.  RedHat is suggesting that users 
purchase a support contract for better service.  I know that companies 
have to make a profit to stay in business, but RedHat seems to be 
adopting tactics like M$.  It seems to be a good distro to learn on, but 
I am finding out that many people are switching to other distros after 
they learn the basics.
