Hi,
2)This one is dirty and political, but its a fact of life: When something goes wrong in a commercial setting, you gotta find out who is at fault. True, with any Linux Distro, when the system bombs and the management catches hold of you as the sys ad, you cant pin the blame on the software.

However, if you have paid support with a distro like say Redhat, then you can redirect _some_ of the blame :-)
This one makes me laugh out loud. Read the EULA and you'll come to know the extent to which you can blame RedHat or any other software vendor. It's effectively _zero_.
Tahir, I guess you read my post in haste. Please read it a little more carefully, and you'll realize that I've already mentioned that with any Linux distro, you can't blame the software (vendor)- refer to <MARK> above. That is to say, you can't take any legal action for compensation etc. What I wanted to say is that with paid support, you can often defend yourself _inwithin_ the company, atleast to some extent. I don't think thats too hard to figure out.
Yours, KZ
