[ale] Satellite 6 opinions?

[Chuck Payne]

James,

Can I recommend that you build you a CentOS 6 box ( RHEL 6 ), install
Spacewalk on it, and yes Satellite is bas on Spacewalk.  Then create and
set up RHEL4 channel to see if it still supports it before you waste
thousand of dollars on Satellite.

If I had time I would build a second server and let you know. But with
Spacewalk being free, it worth a try.
