Yes but why would I use a system where I have to either
a) register on a website to setup a "Demo" account which expires every
2 months unless I fill in a survey. Ever tried doing this if you are
managing 5+ machines. It's a bit of a pain.
b) pay for the "luxury" of not having to do the above
when I could use one of the many other distibution which let me do
something similar to the above for free.
I know there are things like apt-rpm etc but this relies on someone
else creating a copy of the redhat repository which I don't like from
a security standpoint.
Also it might not always work.

Why buy Red Hat Network Basic Services?
- 24 Hour Access. Demo accounts are subject to blackouts during
periods of
high usage. Paid subscribers receive uninterrupted service all
year.

or is there another way around this silliness above and I've been
misinformed?
