Can't you people live without double standards?

Giving a torrent link to pirate the copy and saying don't use pirated copy, is just like govt. saying,
"Smoking is hazardous for health"

It doesn't help.

Hi,

If you d'nt have intension to buy RHEL 5 support license then what ever architecture you wants to download is illegal, in the scenario where people d'nt wants to buy the RHEL support, they use Centos, there is't any difference in both distro, absolute clone, while you are using a legal distro. check out: www.centos.org for download and futher details, using centos even help you in regards to get free latest patches and bug fixes just with a few hours delay then RHEL.

PS: if you use linux it means you hate piracy, so even d'nt abuse licensed Linux !

Cheers

The Cost is not of softwares but its license and support!

You even then can't run legal RHEL on your servers unless you buy support license. Redhat only authorize RHEL installation longer then demo period if & only if you bought the support license.
