  Well, I'd like to thank you for making the effort to do it.  The 
repository isn't a whole lot of use to me specifically (since I manage 
Debian-based systems rather than Red Hat-based), but it's nice to see a 
company with the girth to have a ripple effect through the industry 
heading in the right direction.
  Maybe, in a year's time or so, the yum repository and IdeaStorm will 
have gotten some traction and we can start thinking about getting 
dellmgr and OMSA into an APT repository.  :)

  Ah, the irony; proxying a discussion between technical types with a 
salesperson.  Funny how the world works, huh?  :)
