[ale] a little contract work

[Lightner, Jeff]

When I looked at the Wiki earlier it said RH 6 was released in 2000 so
I'm sure RH 5.1 would have been in the 90s.

I just wanted to make sure people understood the difference between RH
5.1 and RHEL 5.1 (RHEL is up to 5.4 now).  When I first read the earlier
comment I thought it was saying RHEL 5.1 wasn't something a sane admin
would work on.

If memory serves, RH 5.1 was in the mid 1990s...
