[ale] (OT) 1 million

[John Wells]

I was thinking the same thing.  I'd love to help RH out, but I can't
really afford $60 for all my boxes currently. I'd like to pay for one and
then use it as an apt-rpm server for others.

Problem is, rhn uses a profile to know what your machine needs, and that's
nice to have.  I wonder if this (http://www.nrh-up2date.org/) handles
profiles well?
