Simple: yum doesn't care about any subscription, as you can configure alternative update channels. It just can't see the contents of the official Red Hat repositories and thinks they are empty.
From my point of view you've got 2 options:
- Get an official subscription
- Move to an non-subscription based distribution. CentOS, for example, is built from the same sources as RHEL, using the same settings. The only difference is that any Red Hat specific payable software isn't available, and you don't have guaranteed support.
Should you go for option 'b', there's a
Migration Guide on the CentOS wiki.

I was informed that one should have a strong c programming background in order to do a proper compile of GCC. I am of the opinion that having such a background would be helpful but not entirely necessary.

lsb_release
lsb_release(1) General Commands Manual lsb_release(1)
NAME
lsb_release - print distribution-specific information
SYNOPSIS
lsb_release [options]
DESCRIPTION
The lsb_release command provides certain LSB (Linux Standard Base) and distribution-specific information.
If no options are given, the -v option is assumed.
OPTIONS
The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`--'). A summary of options are
included below.
-v, --version
Show the version of the LSB against which your current installation is compliant. The version is expressed as a colon separated
list of LSB module descriptions.
-i, --id
Display the distributor's ID.
-d, --description
Display a description of the currently installed distribution.
-r, --release
Display the release number of the currently installed distribution.
-c, --codename
Display the code name of the currently installed distribution.
-a, --all
Display all of the above information.
-s, --short
Use the short output format for any information displayed. This format omits the leading header(s).
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
NOTES
This is a reimplementation of the lsb_release command provided by the Free Standards Group. Any bugs are solely the responsibility of the
author below.
Detection of systems using a mix of packages from various distributions or releases is something of a black art; the current heuristic
tends to assume that the installation is of the earliest distribution which is still being used by apt but that heuristic is subject to
error.
