I''ve thought the price of Stronghold under RH to be ludicrous. If you
buy a
big hunk of iron like a Sun box, you pay the same price for Stronghold as
you do for Linux on a PC. So if I have several Linux boxes instead of 1 big
Sun box, I must pay for several costly secure servers.
When we switched to linux, we went to RH Secure Server for just that reason.
