Thanks pd for the info. I just checked...

  1. go to this link: http://www.redhat.com/solutions/industries/developer/ under "Standard Developer Subscription" click on "Subscribe Now" and pay $299 USD (hey, where's my commission ;-)
  2. Notice you get access to any of the three enterprise versions (WS, AS, ES) for download from RHN, and you can use either 2.1 or 3.0. You get full RHN to get updates, etc.. But, you can not use any of these s/w for a production server. The limit is you can only register five servers, e.g. "Five 1-year entitlements to any Red Hat software product".
  3. The full scoop is: Standard Developer Subscription
    • Five 1-year entitlements to any Red Hat software product
    • Easy ISOs: OS, Source, and Documentation ISO Images
    • Red Hat Network Update Module Service 1-year
    • Quarterly OS Updates
    • Beta Program Participation (coming soon)
    • Access to all white papers and case studies (coming soon)
    • Available via download only
  4. <RANT> My opinion is that RH is the way to go on LINUX today. After Novell bought SUSE, I think for legal reasons, I expect SUSE to slip behind RH on features for the next few months. Now that's sure to offend someone, sorry. No worries, because I'm told that I'm wrong about this, but to me Novell has been dead for me (ex CNE and C/C++ NLM developer) for a couple years. I attended all the Novell conferences where the competent developers kept leaving and the guys pushing the slides last year were doing the presentations next year. The problem being they had no idea about technical stuff. So, I expect the Novell-SUSE relationship may slow down SUSE progress on LINUX, even though SUSE remains in europe. </RANT>

HTH Regards,

Mike Thomas

(PS: Jonathan, this has got to be a pain after you already paid for SUSE. I didn't know either. Ugh.)
