it would seem that the decent thing to do would be for him to donate the

I have started using CentOS myself as their updates are more timely,
especially the update 4 on RHEL 3 and their RHEL 4 has been out since
the end of February.

It really has been the inconsistency of the mirrors that mostly pushed
me to CentOS but I do still have some systems on WBEL and I'll keep toes
in both ponds for a while.
