I would hope so... as the small firm I'm building would like to get a plug on here.
We plan on donating quite a bit to this project in the long term... stuff I'm doing
now is just the beginning, buit I don't want to get bogged down in long range goals
right now.

I don't think it'll be an issue, as we're not making PC's, and we'll be passing off
the majority of our hardware business to them.

I expected it to go for more... I know the bid went higher... but does anyone know
who bidded higher?  Sure would be nice to have that one :)

Anyone hear what RedHat plans to do with there url?

Exactly.

I agree with Aaron's statement in one of his following emails here... when/if we
get around to packaging it all up, I'm all in favor of the GPL.

Til next time,
