Connie,

|The RedHat difference between AS and ES is a "marketing" difference.  

AH.  That's not how it was presented to me.

|Different support.  Both would work the same as it is the same kernel.

I was led to believe the kernels were different.

|Not sure why you think we would be based on ES.  We are based on AS.

I was also led to believe that AS included
more, proprietary software.  If that were
the case, there would be no way to provide
a full AS clone built from source without
violating something, somewhere.

Thanks for setting things straight.
