There is a lot of discussion on this here:

  Getting Red Hat Network support for free just got harder
  http://newsforge.com/newsforge/03/03/03/138248.shtml

I think that some kind of P2P system is what we are going to need in
the long run.

I really hope that the things that RedHat are doing to make free
updates harder for the less experienced users doesn't result in a
lot of RH boxes running insecure versions in six months time and a
worm rooting them all :-(

A big thank you to YellowDog for using apt and mirrors and avoiding
this whole mess :-) 

Chris
