When logging in to the second url, it says:

"(*)Enterprise Entitlements provide a level of service. Subscribing to 
this will give you access for Red Hat Linux, but not Red Hat Enterprise 
Linux."

That means $96/year is _not_ for RHEL, just RHL.

I would like to add that I'm in the same position as a lot of other 
people on this list - I don't want to pay RedHat for them to have a lot 
of support people sitting around waiting for a phonecall from me that 
will never be made. I'd like to have the software and a steady stream of 
neccessary updates for a sensible amount of time (3-5 years). That's all 
I need, and that's all I want to pay for.
