Approach LFY is a good idea. I have already featured in LFY once under 
Tux Hero about 3 years ago! (for some similar achievement).

May be its time to appear again with the latest as mentioned above.

The team of 3 guys who worked with me at time of migration are now able 
to maintain the setup all by themselves. Let me add that these 3 guys 
had no previous experience of Linux and learned few things at time of 
migration. In last 10-11 months they are now able to maintain the setup 
all by themselves!

One of the 3 guys is now RHCE (completed last week).

Who says learning Linux and handling Linux setup is tough??!!

amit

The guy paid RHEL guys for linux support and if he is shipped a broken
disc, I think shouting to them is a appropriate behavior :)

On the other hand, Yeah just the change of media will do the trick :)

Question Regarding RedHat 5.4 Download

Hi

I went to RedHat site to download RHEL 5.4 and read the following terms:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 30-Day Evaluation
Are you looking for a Linux distribution that your company can depend on to power your business
applications? Test Red Hat Enterprise Linux with virtualization to see how it can increase your
company's IT performance while decreasing costs. 
 
Download 30-day evaluation 
 
My question is, will it stop working after 30 days? I want to use it without RedHat Support, can i use it after
30 days?
 
regards,
amit

Do read the EULA.  You are obligated NOT to use it after 30 days,
although it will continue to run.
