http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/purchase/ yep..i think i misspoke making things bleaker than they appear (bad jef bad, one FUD point for me). Lets roll the clock by a year more. My question wasn't so much as to what i get in the upfront cost, but what options do you have when the service you get as part of the upfront cost expires, whether it be 90 days or a year. For the second year can i use rhn basic entitlement at $60 for the second year or do i need to continue to pay for the enterprise entitlement at $96 for the second year and beyond to get the updates to RHEL WS? Is a basic entitlement enough to just get update packages for RHEL WS, if you don't need the group management features that come with an enterprise entitlement. Just trying to understand how flexible the rhn options are past whatever initial support phase is. -jef"thinks it would be neat if redhat would partner with netflix to make update isos available to people without broadband via the mail"spaleta
