Redhat, 2 steps forward, 2 steps back.

So it's been a few years since I installed a copy of RedHat Linux. Now you need to purchase a subscription, download 6 CD's (I hope there's a DVD option), and enter some 16 digit key during install. They were getting good a few years back and I really thought there would be a push for companies to go Linux. As they got good, they got to charge (more) I guess. I fought with the MSA 1000 most of the day today Plauged by hard drive errors and learning that the smart start cd from HP isn't really a smart start for Redhat (like Dell was back in the day). The only advantage of a smart start cd that I can see, is to create an array prior to booting with the redhat cd's. Hopefully tomorrow is more productive.
