I have purchased several copies of Red Hat 7.1 from Ms. Gargi Ghoshal and
found to be perfectly
OK. In fact I have installed in 5/6 places with their CDs and those are
working fine.

You can contact Mrs. Gargi Ghoshal of Vodateq. She is selling the CDs from
FreeOS.Com (Prakash Advani's company)... the rate is generally Rs. 199 per
CD. So a 2-CD RH 7.1 set wud set you back by Rs 398/-. Her phone # is
417-5507.
BTW, since you are a professed newbie, let me share an open secret abt
REDHAT ;-) Whenever Redhat comes out with a major version release it is
__b_u_g_g_y__, the next subsequent minor version release
(major_version_no.1) is basically a lot of bugfixes, some of which are still
broken or half-baked (no wonder there are ppl calling it as DeadRat ;-) ...,
this is followed some time after by the next minor version release
((major_version_no.2) which is Stable-and-Good (tm).
This is the RHAT tradition.. 4.2 was stable, so was 5.2, 6.2, and we expect
the same to happen with 7.2... moral of the story... wait for RH 7.2... it
shud be coming out soon enuf.
OTOH, you can try Mandrake 8.0... it is built on top of RH 7.1.. and IMO, if
you are on a desktop system it simply wrox!
hth,
--indra.
