    What's the cheapest way to get a RHEL license?

    As subject really. I'm (finally) considering doing my RHCE, and in order to do so, I want a home copy of RHEL. Does anyone know what's the cheapest way of doing that?

    There's no point in suggesting CentOS/Whitebox by the way. They're not identical - no access to RHN for example. I need a real RHEL license.

    Regards...

    Out of interest exactly what do you need from RHN that centos does not provide?

    Have you tried getting a trial subscription for a month, in which time you can download the ISOs. You can play with RHN for that time then you can just run the OS without any updates after that.

    Satellite server. Spacewalk is similar, but not the same. Also Centos 6 isn't out, so I can't do any of the virtualisation stuff which is new in RHEL 6. A trial would work, but I was after something 'full fat'. I don't have the time to focus 100% on my RHCE, so I'm likely to need it for more than 30 days.
