Hi all -

I am new to the Red Hat scene, and I'm a bit confused by the upgrade and
support system.  It's a bit hard to tell what's going on by looking at
the web site.

I originally purchased RH 8.0 and then subscribed to the Red Hat Network
for a year.  I've been getting the live updates as they become
available, and that's all great... but now RH 9 is out.  My Red Hat
Network "available channels" still shows 8.0.  But if I keep updating
8.0 (including the kernel), doesn't it eventually become the same thing
as 9.0?  Or is 9.0 entirely different?

If it is in fact different, I also see that one can download the ISO
images for 9.0 from RHN... however if I do that, and install 9.0 as an
upgrade, will I then have access to the RH9 "channel" on RHN?  Will RHN
"know" that I have upgraded and will my available subscription services
reflect that?

Also, doesn't subscribing to RHN give you access to any other support
options?  I can't say that it's very easy to figure out what you get, or
in some cases how to get to it, from the web site.

Would appreciate any insight into the "Red Hat culture" and how it
works.

Thanks,
Lee
