But what's the EOL status for a product like this? Is it going to be supported for at least a couple years? I'd consider something like this if I had that indication.
PWS was created *specifically* for people who want to run RHEL but cannot afford it. It is RHEL-WS (Workstation) in every detail... they even include the same CD's in the box labeled "Red Hat Enterprise Linux - Workstation." Its EOL is thus *at least* five years after release date, and you can continue to get patches by simply renewing your RHN subscription for $60 every year, if I understand correctly.
