While I am definitely not partial to Red Hat, remember, this is an
enterprise WS package with support for the "business". Still much
cheaper than Billy boy's enterprise licensing and support.
This is basically what you are paying for:
/snip from url/
Annual Phone Support
Phone Response Time/SLA: 4 hours
North American Phone Support: 9-9 ET M-F
Global Phone Support: 9-5 GMT/CET M-F
* Web Response Time/SLA: 2 business days
* Scope of Coverage: 1 year of Standard Coverage
1 year of paying somebody sitting on the other end of the phone rather
than the slug list! ;^) eehhhhh............I like you guys better!!
