One of the swell benefits of being a Beta Tester for RHEL is that when it's over, the participants get some swag and a new boxed edition of the Release. I've gotten several. So, for those on this list that really need a production server but don't have the scratch for it, this is a golden opportunity. There have been numerous posts here referencing the other distros used by Fedora list members to maintain a working solid server. Getting RHEL for free is worth some testing on a spare machine, to get to the prizes in the final box delivered freight pre-paid. I find for the Defense, that RH can post such opportunities to us here in the cheap seats and that anyone in need of such shouldn't be cringing in the corner, afraid to even ask questions concerning RHEL, in response to perceived aggressive statements that declare the topic off limits by Fiat.
