Check out: http://www.caosity.org/ Ding, Ding, Ding, we have a winner. Read the RHEL License again. All it says is that if you have more machines with RHEL than entitlements, Red Hat has the right to cancel your support. Period. The catch comes in because the reason to buy RHEL is for the support. If it is important enough to need support for 5 years, it is important enough to pay for it. -- William Hooper
