Connecting to the "Red Hat Network"

[O'Neill, Donald (US - Deerfield)]

It doesn't matter if you change your IP/Hostname. The 'profile' you save
it under will be associated with that machine.  

Also, its best to register after installation, then you can do a
'up2date -uf' which will update your installation including the kernel.

Subject: Connecting to the "Red Hat Network"

I recently purchased Red Hat EL ES.  Currently I am testing the
installation.  The server hostname and IP are temporary while I build
the machine and learn Red Hat.

Should I "register" and "connect to the red hat network" now, or will
that give me problems later, when I change the IP and hostname?  Is
the support network for updates forgiving about IP/name changes
(assuming I only have one active at a time)?

Any other issues I should be aware of?

Thanks
Shane
