RedHat Network Furor -- 1:11 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun
Slashdot has a rather poorly titled news article "No More Free Updates for Red Hat". Part of it is true, Red Hat will begin charging $19.95/mo to use their automatic updating service. However, the Red Hat Network FAQ makes it clear that you will still get one subscription free:Q: What does Red Hat Network and Software Manager cost?So people like me with one computer will still be able to use it free of charge. Actually, most of the comments on /. are rather supportive of RH. As long as its still free for individual users, I'm not sure what the big problem is. RH has to pay for the bandwidth somehow.
A: Registering with Red Hat Network is free and creating system profiles is free. Every customer receives a free Software Manager subscription for one system. Additional subscriptions are $19.95/month for each system. Red Hat is offering a special introductory $9.95/month rate for systems subscribed before April 6.
