There is also RHPW. Red Hat Professional Workstation is based off RHEL
WS, but the cost is less and it includes 1 year of RHN updates. This
will be sold in retail stores in place of the RHL boxed sets. List price
is $99. It supposedly can be bought for ~$80.

I do. Well "did". :-/ Every boxed set since 5.2.

Fedora will include more "current" software then the original RHL line.
