[olug] Purchasing a copy of RH

[Jon]

Red hat charges for support.  Basically the more expensive packages usually give better support and higher levels of encryption.  They may even have some custom tools they don't ship with the regular edition but I don't really know.  Long story short you don't need expensive version unless you are running a business.

Other than the recommendation of using the latest version for your initial install of Linux, what are the important differences between the two packages? What does the Professional *really* have over the deluxe workstation? Also, are these prices out of league or inline?
