Jeremy, Thanks for taking notice. What are the chances of seeing Redhat make a request to theingirer.net that the article either 1) undergoes a rewrite, or 2) is pulled off the virtual shelf?
=09 Ambassadors, Has anyone taken action? I'd be very interested in hearing of any progress that has been made (or lack thereof)
Best, Adam
