CentOS - Aug 2005 - Feeling a little guilty...

This is the first time I have tried Centros and I must say that I am a 
very happy camper.  But maybe my needs/goals are simple: I need  HTTP 
and FTP servers that support Apache, PHP and Interbase (yes, that 
"funny" DB that runs and runs).

RH 9 was like that and so was FC 3, BUT FC 4 was something else...could 
not even get it to install (like others).  And this forum has been VERY 
helpful for me.  But I do feel a litfle guilt (sure it will diminish in 
time) because of all of the hours RH put into making RHEL 4 work 
smoothly.  Of course the guys and gals on this forum are my 
support...not RH and so far nobdy has sent me a bill :-) !

Thanks to all as I go about installing Firebird (Interbase) and making 
an interbase.so file.

Todd

P.S. And thanks for putting up with my questions.  Manuals and my 
dyslexia have never had a good relationship!

[ See the continuing theme I made on "this is why it helps to know what
is a ".0 like release" in the Fedora Core world?  ;-]

Why feel guilty?  Red Hat puts a lot of people on GPL stuff they don't
ever see a dime for, stuff that goes into the stock kernel, GCC (even,
gasp, non-Linux targets!), etc...  So why feel guilty?

Red Hat has always been, and always will be, a GPL company.
That's all they do, GPL, GPL, GPL, it's their blood.
Whether it's Linux or otherwise (and they do a bit of otherwise too ;-),
it's GPL.

You can get support from Red Hat without paying a dime too.
