well yeah. i don't use RHN myself. and the big red blinkenlight on the GUI 
panel telling you to update is annoying. :P

i use RedCarpet myself. they have free mirrors eh (just pick from a list) 
so you don't have to suffer slow mirrors.

although I have to point out -- RHN is like $60/year. even for Filipinos, 
that's affordable (enough). So support our favorite (well, *MY* favorite) 
Linux company -- buy RedHat boxed sets (I don't hahahahahaha but my friend 
does.. he has 6 - 9 all boxed) and subscribe to RHN.

I mean -- I *AM* a leech too. So, being a leech, I don't complain about 
RedHat's attempts to make my leeching more hassle-full.  :))
