Configuring repositories for Yum on RHEL 6

[keith smith]

This is an authentic RHEL release, version 6.  I'm not sure how to connect to their repository.  We normally run CentOS so this is my first experience with running licensed RH.

Thanks for your help.

Either can do remote archive retrievals -- but Red Hat does not release the post-Beta binaries of its enterprise product to the general internet, choosing to provide access only through their RHN (Red Hat Network) which uses strong authentication methods keyed to each individually licensed install

CentOS 6 will be along, soon enough ; Scientific Linux has a candidate out there as well
