RE: RHEL 3.0

If the bits (as you call them) are still free and you only charge for the
services (updates, monitoring, management, consulting, custom engineering)
and support (product and technical.),

Then where are the ISO's for download for enterprise and workstation as were
for all previous versions?
I have looked and can not find them on your site.

Since there was no Red Hat Enterprise Linx before 2.1, there is no "upgrade"
feature in the installer.

If you are going to purchase RHEL 3, why not use your support entitlement to
help you migrate?

In any case, you'd be better off installing RHEL 3 on a machine, and move
your data and apps over. If the other two are the same, you could clone the
first install. If not, you can repeat the first step for those. Are there a
lot of third party or custom apps installed?

Here's a Tips and Tricks article on moving from RHL to RHEL or Fedora.
