[lug] redhat 8.0 updates

[Andrew Gilmore]

The up2date demo account does not have an expiration date.

It does become 'surveyware' after 60 days, and every 60 days after that.

It hasn't bothered me much yet. I didn't know this, but if you buy a
basic subscription, they upgrade your demo account to basic service as
well, so it's like two for one.

Support for Redhat 8 is scheduled to expire in December, though.
