I do agree with you. Some people seems to say "I do not want to understand".
Months ago I asked something about V5.5-2 and they did not ansewer my question
but suggested to upgrade to Alpha... :-P


Yeah, I got a right bollocking for summarising the DEFCON slides in the wrong way or something. There are some grumpy grumpy old men on that group, but overall they can be very helpful and friendly.

I think it's insane that they hand out all these licenses but then no   
software, what's the point?

Yes, quite strange. Not only they do offer licenses for layered products not
easily available to Hobbyists, but even the operating system itself is not
officially available. A strange position indeed. BTW, speaking about licenses:
do you happen to have any licenses not present in the usual Hobbyist offering?
E.g. we are looking for host based RAID licenses (DRxx: devices) since about
two years, to no avail! :-|

No sorry, didn't realise I needed any licenses for those. I run KZPACs (DRxx devices) on both my Alphas, and just use the AlphaBIOS management utility when I need it.
