Free Download Whitebox Linux OS
Whitebox is a very new distribution. Whitebox Linux is the result of Redhat's decision to discontinue offering a free supported linux product. Redhat supports their Enterprise Linux versions for five years after release. Whitebox was created from the Redhat Enterprise 3.0 source packages.
Whitebox may offer some relief to those who cannot afford the frequent release schedules that Fedora Core offers.

How is WhiteBox Linux updated?
Obviously RHN isn't available as an option, so yum has been brought in from Fedora along with a version of up2date that can work with yum. So pick Up2Date Network from the menu and it basically "just works".
There are some issues though. There is still an initial panel which refers to rhn, but if you just click past that it doesn't actually try connecting to rhn. Even with multiple well connected mirrors it doesn't always work well. It is recommended that if you have several machines to keep in sync that you make a local mirror and edit
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to point the yum lines at it and comment out the yum-mirror lines.
