The purchase-only version is Red Hat Enterprise Linux and is available at different price points depending on your support requirements and package requirements. Red Hat Professional Workstation is technically equivalent to Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS expect that it includes product updates only and not telephone support. If you used to pay $40 to buy a boxed set of Red Hat Linux and paid $60 for RHN, then Red Hat Professional Workstation is actually cheaper for you and gives you a much longer life cycle than RHL gave you. > People get very agrivated over this and feel RedHat has betrayed them by > trying to work toward a more commercial focus and feel this is > justification to tell the world that they intend on moving to <insert > other distribution from the list of hundreds here> > > Someone should write a FAQ.
