centos is 100% binary compatible with rhel... dunno what kind of probs you should have...

anyway:

http://www.google.it/search?q=RedHat.Enterprise.Linux.ES.4.Update.6.x86.DVD-XiSO

one of those pages have some direct links... dunno if they are real...

good luck hunting

As said, CentOS is taken from the Red Hat FTP servers.

http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/4/en/os/

This is the redhat source code for RHEL 4. I don't know what software your running, but CentOS 4 is the same as RHEL 4, the only difference is the trademark images are removed, and replaced with CentOS ones. You only buy support from Red Hat, not the software.

edit, i missed the update link for RHEL 4.

but if i want to buy support from red hat (and i do) i need to have red hat not cent os.
Is it true that if i want to update red hat (security patches etc.) i need to buy that support? Correct me if im wrong... yum doesnt work without support.

I found spanish site with download links hope that this is good 4.6 relase :D

thanx for help

If you buy support from red hat, you can use their update servers, plus all the other benefits of red hat support. - Well worth it for business's and mission critical systems.

If your going to buy support though, why are you looking for the updates ?

Red Hat 4 update 6 (4.6) is a stand-alone OS.

When they release the updates, they also make a new spin of the install disc.

If your trying to update a system via remote you need yum updates working.

without paying the 500eur/year you cannot access to the redhat network... that means no updates!!!!

if you want to buy: just buy it!!!
