I thought when RedHat went from 9.0 to the Enterprise stuff it was
terrible
for small and mid-size users.  It is even worse.  Last year I bought a
machine with Linux installed on it.  My one year subscription for update
has
run out.  After talking with people at RedHat, I am told I have to pay
$179
for this year in order to get the very basic updates.  If I want more, I
have to spend almost $300.  With 7.x, 8.x and 9.x it used to cost $60 a
year.  Can anybody tell me if there is a cheaper way to keep my RedHat
system up to date?  If there is not, this unacceptable.  Even Microsoft
does
not do such awful things (Windows updates are free).
