Now, I just renewed the demo account for RH9 on my laptop this morning. I decided to take them up on their offer and see how much paid support would cost. Looking at their RHN product/support page, they offer 4 layers of patching support: updates, Managed, Managed + Proxy, and Managed + Satellite. http://www.redhat.com/software/rhn/management/table/ And moving onto the Red Hat store, I see the following price structure: Update Service Entitlement - $60/year for one system Management Entitlement (RHN) - $96/year for one system Management Entitlement (RHN) - $456/year for 5 systems Management Entitlement (RHN) - $816/year for 10 systems I've confirmed that this cost stays the same for RHEL, by logging into RHN using my RHAS accounts. So, I'm starting to think that the initial cost of the RHEL products ($179/349 for WS/ES, respectively) is only that, a one-time cost, and that you *can* purchase up2date patching for $60/year. Can someone from Red Hat *please* stand up and clarify this? -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
