Satellite server and other options

[Andrew Bacchi]

A couple years ago we explored the Satellite server.  We had a telephone 
conference with reps from RedHat, and a good long meeting it was.  They 
answered many questions.

We decided to go with the Proxy server they provide, at less cost than 
the Satellite.  It gave us the ability to control upgrades, and our own 
private OS channels.  You may benefit from a phone conference also.
Good luck.
