If you can't justify the money, then use Fedora. It's everything we liked about RHL except the name. It's like the difference between OpenOffice and StarOffice. up2date will work for free now, plus you'll get enhancements not just fixes. It is mostly maintained by Redhat. It is RHL, I belive the only reason that they changed the name was due to copyright issues, otherwise that would have stayed the same as well. It's just more open and moves faster 3 versions a year in place of 2. All of the security patches that affect the enterprise version will alos be available to the the fedora version. It seems they will all come from the same place, Just like OOo vs. SO.

I think the only mistake that Redhat has made is in chnaging the name and there by confusing people.
