I've been considering whether or not to purchase a year's worth of Red Hat Network. Is it worth it? Being able to update my system at any time with just a push of a button would be nice, but is there a cheaper (A/K/A - free) alternative?
There _are_ free alternatives; look into apt and its GUI synaptic.
However, I suggest that you consider (a) whether you can afford $5/month and (b) whether you want to use this as a tool to support Red Hat which is, after all, a for-profit company who hopes to make a profit. If you believe that the benefits you get from Red Hat are worth that $5/month, I urge you to "vote with your dollar" and help them be more successful.
Of course, if you _don't_ believe they provide such a service, spend your hard-earned money elsewhere. It's just that I believe saving $1000 on Windows 2000 licenses every time I add a server, and the rock-solid stability of my RH servers, is more than worth the $5/month... I think it's a screaming bloody bargain.
Remember: you asked whether it was WORTH IT. My answer: hell, yes!
