Fedora has been my distro of choice since their beginning and have never 
paid a cent for it or any updates.  Therefore, I'm a little confused 
when you mentioned purchasing "entitlements" for updates to Fedora. 
Which website are you looking at, www.redhat.com or fedora.redhat.com? 
Anyway, I'm just curious about whether there is some sort of fee I'm 
going to be have to paying soon.

Thanks,
