RHEL4 vs CentOS-4

[eclark]

Yum+up2date +proxy server == most bang for your buck out of a license. We use 
a yum/up2date repository along with rhn and find this to be a very very 
secure way of auditing our network. Without actually using rhn, the licenses 
are a waste of money, since any sysadmin worth their weight in salt should be 
able to hack almost anything. The regular maintenance rh does for security 
auditing however, is worth more to me than the 800 listed for standard 
edition, purely on cost savings of employee time.
