Some new Linux users are getting a lesson in "you get what you pay for".

Amazon.com auction users have been calling Red Hat Software for support for recently purchased CDs containing Red Hat Linux. Only one problem: These customers hadn't bought official Red Hat Linux.

And as of today, Red Hat released a statement acknowledging that it is not supporting users who are using the free version of its operating system.

Full story to follow.

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
