Re: easiest way to keep a Redhat 9 box

[Eric Scuccimarra <eric () quovad com>]

The RHN costs money but you can use it in demo mode. They send you a 
questionnaire every 60 days and if there is high traffic they will bump you 
off in favor of paying customers but that works fine for us. I use it for 
all of my 10 or so RedHat servers and don't pay for it.

RedHat is discontinuing support for all OS's other than Enterprise as of 
April 30, 2004 which is going to suck big time. As of then we'll probably 
be switching to another flavor of Unix.

Any recommendations?
