    I don't have to see it on that page. I also don't see any mention of
    AS, ES or WS on that page. And don't point to the bottom section
    regarding RHEL 2.1 lifecycle... Pro Workstation didn't exist at that
    time. You'll note that Red Hat has been poignantly discrete about their
    Pro Workstation product; one might deduce that this is to deflect the
    potential cannabilism of their high-end products.

    I personally called Red Hat two weeks ago regarding Pro Workstation.
    They informed me that Pro Workstation would be released with RHEL 3.0
    because it is *based* on RHEL 3.0 and would be supported as such. Until
    they inform me otherwise, I will continue to base my decisions on that
    information.
