How to discover if Redhat 5 server is Advanced or Base server

Hi All.
I have installed Redhat 5-u2 server using RHEL5.2-Server-20080430.0-x86_64-DVD.iso for installation.
Now I am trying to discover if my server is Advanced server or Base server.
/etc/redhat-release shows me "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga)".

Can any one please help me how to discover if my server is Advanced or Base server.

Thanks in advanced, Yakov.

I think the simplest way to tell the difference would be to look at your subscription details. Other than that, visit http://www.redhat.com/rhel/server/compare/ and you'll see the differences between the two systems. There are packages in the advance platform that aren't available to the base system - e.g. Conga, GFS and clustering.
