your two main choices are

- use centos instead of rhel
- or pay for rhel's support

installing the apt tools won't get you updates to rhel5.

Hi ,

I have not played with rhel-5 too much , but i guess that you can try the apt4rpm for redhat may be it will work
Cheers :)

move on ubuntu or debian or any debian based distro...
porting apt in RH is not a good idea.

i tried an internal modem once, but it hurt when i walked. will the installation serial hurt, too? if so, i don't want to try it.

Just add the repos of fresh rpm and livna and you will not have any need to be registered to get their support.

you can use Fedora core 8, but personal i prefer Debian or Ubuntu or Pclinuxos. or if you wanna go hardcore, Gentoo.
