One small point to be made.  Unlike CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, and many 
other Linux distributions with executables licensed for free, that use 
primarily volunteer unpaid packagers/developers, some of whom are 
professionals, SL is free to us, but does have actual costs to taxpayers 
in both the USA (Fermilab) and the EU (CERN), and has paid professionals 
doing the work, presumably as part of their professional 
responsibilities.   The same may be said of the Princeton University 
RHEL re-release, although the funding from public sources is somewhat 
more indirect in that Princeton is not a public university per se. 
Thus, the comment that RHEL is paid for and one gets one pays for, a 
typically for-profit adage, is not completely true with respect to SL -- 
it does cost money and is paid for, although there is no support per se 
available.  On the other hand, the information provided, including that 
on the SL users list, is sufficient for the purposes here as far as 
support is concerned.
