ximian might have the solution for you and others needing a replacement
for red hat linux (i.e. rhn)-just in case fedora won't cut it (i hope it
will):

"[...] As to the void left by Red Hat offering Red Hat Network support
only for Enterprise Linux customers, the Red Hat moves have created a
golden opportunity for Ximian to expand its customer base. Ximian's Red
Carpet provides the same type of services as the Red Hat Network -
high-speed lines for downloads and automated updates for security and
bug fixes - for a comparable price. All Ximian needs to do to gain new
customers from those abandoned by RHN is to support Fedora, and they say
that's what they're going to do."
