PWS was created *specifically* for people who want to run RHEL but cannot 
afford it. It is RHEL-WS (Workstation) in every detail... they even include 
the same CD's in the box labeled "Red Hat Enterprise Linux - Workstation." 
Its EOL is thus *at least* five years after release date, and you can 
continue to get patches by simply renewing your RHN subscription for $60 
every year, if I understand correctly.
