If you would've followed this thread closer, you would've read that I *have* called Red Hat Sales previously and have been given contradictory information. Unless your email address ends in "@redhat.com", you weren't obliged to stand up and clarify it. > First of all, you mix Red Hat Network (RHN) and Red Hat Enterprise > Network (RHEN).

Btw, AS/ES/WS > are licenced per installed machine (see service level agreement). Both RHEL and non-RHEL accounts use https://rhn.redhat.com as the access point for RHN management/patches. Perhaps you'd like to explain where your RHEN comes in, as everything I've read on the RHEL page refers to RHN as RHN. In fact, http://www.redhat.com/software/rhen is even a redirect to http://www.redhat.com/software/rhn. I think you're referring to some out-of-date PR terminologies. Everyone else seems to understand my confusion (excuse the irony), maybe you're confused by my confusion. ;-) It really doesn't matter, now knowing (thanks Ed!) that Red Hat releases RHEL errata in SRPMS. My concern, with regards to SOHO, is only about the patches. No RHN, no license subscriptions, just the patches. Perhaps I haven't made that clear. -- 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
