Did we read the same page? When you buy Novell (SUSE) support for RedHat
EL, you will still run your original RedHat EL installation but then
update packages rebuilt by Novell. Technically that's the same like adding
the CentOS repo config to your RedHat installation and then install all
updates from CentOS instead of RedHat. What a mess, why would anyone in
the world want this? And then pay $ for the mess...
