Can anyone either confirm or deny this? The pricing page for RHEL does include the phrase "Annual Subscription Pricing" which would seem to indicate you are correct. But if it is indeed an additional ($349/$799/etc. depending on version) a year in order to get errata then that will get expensive quick. Almost $1,000 for RHEL ES for 3 years of use will remove Red Hat from consideration in a lot of places (while conceding that some large rich companies will be happy to pay it). -- Phoebe-list mailing list Phoebe-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/phoebe-list
