I have received a separate private email off the list mention the SL 
fora.  One small question:  when the issue of the various RHEL based 
distributions was posted to this list, rather before this article, why 
was there no post to a link on the appropriate Forum?

Such a response would have saved list traffic.  If such a link was 
posted, my apologies for missing it.
