>From what I understand, it goes like this:

- The product will not see "end-of-life" for "n" years (I think n=5)

- Updates will be available via RHN for "n" years

- However, your access to RHN is dependent on your subscription, which is 
  yearly.

So, if you are a sysadmin worried about products being EOL'd too quickly, 
you are well protected with the Enterprise products for "n" years. 

However, you will have to pay for that protection with an annual 
subscription.

Hmmm, this does sound like "M$ Software Assurance(TM)" to me. I am sure 
someone from Red Hat will quickly jump in here to point out the 
difference while the tar is still melting and the feathers are still 
being plucked.... 

Just kidding! ;-)

Because if that bothers you, there is always the "great unwashed masses
edition", just a free download away....

The Enterprise edition is simply the sideact that ensures that the RH 
engineers get paid, fed and watered/beered while they continue to knock 
out the good stuff some of us (me included) suck down for free ;-)
