[lug] FW: Student Buff Bulletin 08/30/2007

[Craig Talbert]

Hi Siegfired,

You get the student activation key here:

       https://redhat.colorado.edu/pub

click on Activation-Keys and use your Identikey Username/Password.
You will then see the Student Key which you can download and save.
Place this student key in the bootstrap.sh script, described here in
Step 4:

 http://unixops.colorado.edu/resources/x86Unix/RedHat/sitelic.html

and you should be all set.  Unlike the $25.00 fee version for research,
faculty, and staff, this version requires you to run "up2date" manually
on your system every so often to keep your system updated (most of us
run it out of cron).
