Just to "circle around" to the very original response/point and the very, very original and actual subject here. ;) Red Hat Network (RHN) started as a hosted management service over 8 years ago. Customers then asked for a standalone RHN solution, hence RHN "Satellite" (aka "Satellite Server") came out awhile ago. This year, Red Hat fully open sourced "Satellite" which is known as "Spacewalk" under the Fedora Project. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is associated with, but completely separate from, Red Hat Network (RHN) as hosted, as a separate product (RHN Satellite), etc... You can host RHEL updates in YUM -- in fact -- RHEL 5 officially uses YUM instead of the legacy RHN tools (e.g., up2date). CentOS uses YUM. Fedora uses YUM. Many Red Hat clients use YUM, instead of the RHN hosted or Satellite products. You can even use "Spacewalk" to host RHEL, and the reference host for "Spacewalk" in Fedora's own documentation is RHEL 5. RHN is where the "subscription" model came from, but has absolutely _nothing_ to do with RHEL run-time licensing. Which is why 10 out of 10 of my clients associate Landscape with RHN. "Spacewalk" is the direct 1:1 source code of RHN Satellite, which was the "disconnected" version of RHN hosted. For any and all other concerns on "licensing," see the RHEL EULA, or any written agreement you may have with Red Hat. _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list lpi-examdev@lpi.org http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
