You'd think it was Friday already ... hit sent before I'd finished the message...

Regarding the $2500 Base Package ...

It seems to me that the Site License Base of $2500 just get's you the Red Hat Network Proxy Server and then either $7/FTE or $25/WS and $50/AS. If you aren't going the $7 / FTE route (for UNC somewhere near $40k) then it's $25/WS and $50/AS which is the same as the cost for educational users purchasing individual annual subscriptions. Right?

For those of you talking to Red Hat, what am I missing here? Why should we fork over the $5k to Red Hat? Is it worth $5k to have Systems Grouping, Systems Permissions, Scheduled Actions, System Search, Package Profile Comparison, Custom Channels, and Local Package Caching?

There. Done. No more emails from me today. ;-)
