omh, when did you suddenly get a job in the 'real world'? aren't you still a
walmart employee? and that, at an individual location and not in bentonville
corporate? further, don't you still live with your mom?
if you've joined the rest of us in the 'real world', we'd love to
congratulate you...and send sympathy cards to your new employer. hey, we
might actually have to consider your pov as mattering when you debate
someone here...as it would now have been honed by actual practice and
application.

wow, the 4.2 billion dollar per year corporation for whom i work has been
running it's critical applications using php and rhl since php 3, rhl 5.
until recently, neither offered any help. we did just fine. now that rhl
does offer support, it may make someone in another department have warm and
cozy feelings...but, from the cio down to the actual sys admins, we've never
been worried. and, we've only ever been down due to power or connectivity
issues. no os is immune to either of those. we're still doing just fine.
again though, did you say you had joined us in the 'real world' yet?
