It's not $60/yr for future years. Assuming the cost does not go up, it is exactly what you paid for the first year all over again. With the Enterprise Linux, you are not buying a product, you are buying a year of some level of support and the right to use the software on a single computer for one year. -- Michael Brown Glen Raven, Inc./Info Services Senior Oracle DBA 1831 N.

This costs $349 per system. For your 2 systems, that's *not* > $1,600 but half that. Let's see... Basic Edition provides 90-days of Installation and Configuration support (Monday-Friday 9am-5pm ET), and is available via download only. vs. Standard Edition provides a full year of Standard support (includes Monday-Friday 9am-9pm phone support with 4 hour response (9am-5pm outside North America) and a one year subscription to Red Hat Enterprise Network. Customers ordering Standard Edition will receive a full boxed-product with CDs and printed documentation and are also able to download the software if desired. Okay, so with the basic edition I don't get the RHN subscription. That takes $350 to $410 per machine. And I want to use this "long EoL" release for more than the one year, so add on the $60/yr. after that, per machine. So while you're right, it's not $1600/machine, but to have it for 3 years would be 350 + 60*3 = $530/machine. Heck, the first year of errata shouldn't cost anything because you can get free errata for the RHL9 for that year. -- A billion seconds ago Harry Truman was president.
