Hi Kevin, When you have RHEL subscription number of support, you will get RHN access. And also, to apply security updates or patches for your production server, RHN will provides you. To get more info you should visit here http://www.redhat.com/red_hat_network/ CMIIW. To migrate your sandbox to development to production environment, maybe another gurus and experts will guide you.

Do I have to buy the same level of support for this "trash able" system? (I've already ruled out Fedora and CentOS, as I need to maintain compatibility with EMC PowerPath and Oracle.) - By the time I've evaluated a set of updates, there are new ones, and yum always pulls the newest. How do I migrate my 'approved' set from sandbox to development to production? - How often do you apply updates to your production servers? Security updates?
