The links for RHN Errata and Red Hat Documentation have always been open and 
free to the world:  
- http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/
- http://www.redhat.com/docs/

However, for the updates themselves, you still need to have a paid 
subscription[1].

You mentioned HP.  Did you buy your HP system with a RHN Entitlement?  If so, 
you should have received a code for registering with RHN, so you can subscribe 
the system for updates.  Or do you work for HP?  You can respond off-list if 
you like.

NOTE:  EUS is a separate entitlement from the base platform entitlements 
(although it's fairly inexpensive, and only a fraction of the cost).

[1]  NOTE:  As a professional, I have a Red Hat Developer subscription for 
myself so I can access details, software (for testing) and the Knowledgebase.  
However, I refuse to download software for any of my clients, and force them to 
send me a separate login for their RHN account and related subscriptions.

Great follow-up!  Thank you for that.  I do hope HP has access to the link I 
mentioned.  :)
