Your boss is probably over reacting. What I gather from what I have read and heard, up2date will be available for the current RHL release until 6 months after the next one (Fedora). After that it will transfer to Fedora. That indicates to me that Fedora will be having up2dates as well. However, I have not heard whether or not Fedora will offer the priced version.

Lovely. I am one of those folks who don't *have* the $60 for the up2date and was willing to fill out the questionaire. When you say that it is discontinued, what exactly do you mean? I was able to install a program with up2date last night...are the demo accounts going to expire immediately, or a couple of months? I guess it's time to learn apt, damnit. Oh, and btw, my boss just told me that he put on hold our purchase of any further RH products (including RHAS, which we use as an Oracle9i server) until things settle down. Now he's looking at Suse, damnit.
