Okay, so it has Samba, NFS and Apache out of the gate, but as I've said
over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
over again, it's about more than just "can I get an RPM". Updates are
crucial as well and... well... this is what it says.
Allow me to give you a history lesson:

Please get past the mentality of "big bad Red Hat is out to get me".

By definition, saying someone isn't contributing to the community unless
they buy RHEL or run Fedora beta is calling them a leech. So YOU called
me a leech.
As I recall, you were the one that wanted to contribute. According to the
archives, you said:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-December/msg02265.html
" I'd gladly pay for a relatively stable for Fedora. But the only way I
can pay is by being a beta tester? "
And the answer is yes. If you would like to support Fedora you contribute
to the community by beta testing the distro.
I don't recall (and don't see in the archives) ever saying you "had" to
run the beta distros, or "had" to buy RHEL. I most certainly did not call
you a leech.
