Dang, now you tell me.  I recently registered rhel6.com for kicks and jollies, because it was
available.  Yes, there's a site -- http://rhel6.com :-)

Red Hat's war on RHEL - rhel6

Micah, Micah... You're just BEGGING for a legal love letter from the kind Nazgūl at 
Red Hat, aren't you?

Anyway, I think Red Hat should promote RHEL (pronounced as the "rel" in "relative") 
as the proper platform for large installation of Rails. Call it "RoRoR" or "Rails on RHEL". 

Just adding my $.02 to help the marketing folks out. (Or just being silly.)

Seriously, I will continue to refer to RHEL -- especially when googling (another 
"inappropriation", to coin a phrase, of a trademark, no?) for arcane solutions to 
RHEL-specific issues.

LOL ... maybe

Except that all sort of other domains with rhel exist, such as rhel.com (which is for sale for
$4k+!

My intentions are benign, and I think anyone reasonable at Red Hat would see that.  If they
did make a request of me, I would probably comply.
