IIRC there are free versions of it, but I normally fork over the small
amount for the desktop. I don't mind spending the money if it supports a
company that has been good to me ;)

We had just purchased a year subscription to RHN for our RH8 servers.
When RH announced that they would retire the RH line for the AS line, we
saw a lot of our cost saving in using linux going out the window. A
short time after that, SuSE was gobbled by novell and it was almost a no
brainer to make the move to SuSE.
As for fedora, I just wasn't comfortable using Fedora on our production
equipment. It made me lose sleep at night.

I generally apply patches as them come. With proper testing of course :)

Not yet, that's on the list this year, as well as a zenworks, some Red
carpet work and portal work. Looking for a Novell Job? :)

Wow! Congrats Ron! You must be so proud! I was just happy that both
twins where home for xmas after three weeks in NICU. But now they're
both healthy and happy.
