[WBEL-users] Commercial Yum mirror

[Mark A. Lewis]

Well, maybe "one stop shopping"? Really hard to say, because of google
it is easy to find almost anything.

I know that there are several companies that have made a business of
providing RH <9 updates when RH pulled the plug on them, but WBEL is
already doing basically the same thing.

Honestly, nothing is really coming to mind. As cheap as bandwidth is you
will be competing against free sources.

And you may be right. What kind of "value add" would you suggest?
