[Bioclusters] how are the Redhat product changes affecting existing and future plans?

[Matt Temple]

Tim,

	I took a look at the Fedora package list and it includes
RPMs for up2date and RHNetwork!   OK, that's confusing to me!
I'll try writing to one of the developers to see where they're
going with that.   Are there SUSE users who can tell us how
elegant their package updater is?   (rpm is very good iff you
have assembled the right collection of packages, but only if)

Is there still a free Oracle for Linux?
