	No.  Read your own statement above.  You can, in fact, have more
than one system per email address.  I have 7 right now.  You only get one
system entitlement (now "Demo" - was called "Basic" like 2 days ago) for
free, which you must juggle between systems if you want to manage multiples.
But you can add as many systems as you like.  Had you said "...for free for
just one machine at a time" you'd have been at least partly correct.

	BZZZZT!  
	Try running "up2date package-from-RHdistro-you-don't-have-installed"
You might have to have the RH rpmdb installed for this to work correctly, at
a minimum it'll need to be there for dep resolution.  Your statement is
correct WRT packages that are not part of the RH distro you've got
installed.

	I'm not really hostile, I just don't particularly care for
misinformation spread as Gospel.
