Thanks pd for the info. I just checked...
- 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 ;-)
- 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".
- 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
- <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.)
