And what do you think Red Hat Network (RHN) is?
Again, RHN != RHEL.  ;)

???

If you mean Fedora Spacewalk, it is the open sourced version
of the Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite product.

Otherwise, I'm not familiar with "Spacewalker."

My clients equate Landscape with RHN.

From:  http://www.ubuntu.com/news/landscape 

  "Pricing and Availability

   Ubuntu users are invited to register for a free trial
   at www.canonical.com/landscape/register. Trials will
   be restricted to users who register five or more
   machines on the system. The free trial lasts for 60
   days. Landscape is available as a stand-alone option
   without commercial support from Canonical priced at
   $150 per node with discounting available on larger
   volumes."

At $150/node (unsupported).

As did Red Hat(R) until legal abuse opened its use to everyone.

That's when Fedora(TM) became the liberal policy for
community redistribution.

Then my clients are in error.

BTW, you should consider reading the Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (RHEL) End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) and not
confuse RHEL with the Red Hat Network (RHN) of products.

I fully admitted that Red Hat does not offer public
repositories for its binary releases of RHEL, which is
where Canonical and Red Hat greatly differ.
