[wplug] SLES 9.0 questions

[Pecoraro, Chris]

Hello all,

I'm a linux newbie, so forgive my silly questions.  We have SLES 9.0 on opteron dual 246 (SMP) (750 gig ATA, 8 gig ram) without the maintenance, and it's becoming almost impossible to keep up with the latest rpms.  Can I really maintain this server without a YAST or subscription, or am I kidding myself.  I can't even install Gimp or Firefox because I'm already missing newer libs! 

Thanks in advance guys/girls
