This is not a offer AT ALL.
While I appreciate the gesture that you would like to pay the
deserved price and buy the RH CD and thus contribute to the Open
Source cause, I also feel that you can get the same thing for a
price way way cheaper than that stated above. You will infact be
able to get Slackware 4.0 + Debian 2.1 + Caldera Open Linux (can't
remember the version) + RedHat 6.0 + Mandrake 6.0 in a 6 CD set by
InfoMagic (www.infomagic.com) for only US$30. Agreed that this box
will not come with the funky manuals and all, but then how many of
you guys really need those manuals anyway; HOW-TOs more than
suffice, don't they ?
BTW, if at all you are paying for it instead of downloading the
stuff, it may ba a better idea to pour the money into distributions
like Slackware and Debian who need the moolah a lot more than
RedHat :)
