    I think for most people, they would encounter it in a science class early in life (at least for English speakers). And Hg is just the chemical symbol for mercury, https://pubchem.n…

    If companies want something to be reliable and accountable then paying for RHEL seems like the obvious thing to do. They are able to pay for Windows but why not for RHEL. The curre…
