Parent article: Linuxlookup.com reviews Red Hat 7.3
I'm more then a little tired of buying new RedHat releases every six months for almost as much as I'd pay for Windows ...If you don't want new features more often than that, why do you upgrade? If you want new features more often than that, then you obviously must not be happy with Microsoft's slow update cycle. FWIW, I write this message from a Red Hat 7.1 machine with various updates from Ximian and some hand-picked RPMs from Red Hat 7.2 and 7.3.
... and then being expected to pay additional money for RedHats automated software update mechanism.The other day I installed 7.3 on a couple machines (one for work, one for home). I followed the path led by the update icon, registered with RHN, and got my updates. I never shelled out any cash and everything worked fine. The only point in the process that I spent extra time over paying for the service was when I downloaded and burned the CD's.Any yes, I realize there are ways to get around this. I just don't feel I should have to.
