Please take off your tin hat. Red Hat sells by subscription, so, it doesn't matter which version of RHEL you are running, just the count of servers. See: https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/server/ and note that there are no version numbers mentioned. -- greg _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
