RE: Red Hat updates

Thanks for the reply,

I am also looking at the academic subscription for my test environment,
I already subscribe and have support for my production systems. This
should work I think. Any suggestions??

For starters, you need a subscription for your test environments too.
If you plan on installing RHEL ES or AS on your test systems, they
*must* be subscribed as long as your production systems have
subscriptions - that's in the Red Hat subscription agreement.

On the other hand, you could run a 3rd-party rebuild of RHEL
sources (CentOS, WBL, etc.) and get a "close-enough" test
environment. The rebuilds aren't 100% - some stuff could
fail whereas they'll work with RHEL binaries - but it might
suit your purposes.

For my organization, we typically subscribe our test systems
too. The only rebuild running here is in a virtual machine
on my desktop.
