If you were in Taiwan, then $6K NT isn't bad.  But if you are talking $6K US

I'm an old hand at this.  I am sure there will be some that will tell you
that you can set up a "local repo" and use yum.  However, I would simply use
"rpm -ivh" and if there were any dependency issues I would figure them out
on my own.

Sometimes experienced people are not always the best source of help.  :-(
