I think FR is paying for their Linux, not using something free from Africa or Europe like so many of you. Nor do they endlessly push the stuff with continuous lies, that's what bugs me the most.
We can't know that. JimRob runs the site on a minimum budget, and has a co-located server.
Way #1: I believe JimRob is talented enough to take care of his own server, so could easily just download Red Hat, install and maintain it.
Way #2: His ISP provides the server and maintenance of the OS with a managed hosting package, so it hinges on whether the ISP bought support from Red Hat, which isn't necessarily the case, and has nothing to do with JimRob's intentions.
