Description Jon Stanley 2007-08-16 03:24:21 UTC
Description of problem:

The low-level messaging utility cowsay/cowthink is missing from RHEL.  There is 
overwhelming support/necessity to having this included, see bug 251989 for 
details.

This is a tremendously useful utility.  I'd love to see it included.  +1!

Red Hat values your feedback and will take this enhancement request into consideration for future major releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
