As per my conversation with a Red Hat salesman yesterday. It will only be available to Enterprise customers. I am sure your existing accounts will continue to work until they expire. I am guessing that it will last about 6 months since Fedora is due out. When Fedora is released, I assume that marks the start of the last 6 months support cycle.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I am a paid subscriber to RHN for all the systems I use. The use of up2date and automatic updates has been a real time saver. Losing this would be a definite problem for me. That is the issue that I have not seen addressed yet? -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
