First of all...you dont need $50 for Red Hat you can get the "free
version" from www.cheapbytes.com($1.99) and linuxmall.com(1.49)...I would
recomend getting a pack, I think linuxmall has a pack for $10 and you get
6 different distro's of linux, which is kinda nice to see wich one you
really like..also sometime one just refuses to install..(cladera just will
not install on my system..to bad caldera's loss ;) )
I went and got the 'MONDO Pack' from cheapbytes...it came with 5 dstro's
(RH5.1,Slack3.5,S.u.S.E.,OpenLinux,Debian2.0beta) and a 3cd archive of
software and HOW-TO's to save some web time...
I've been a defect since June'98.....ha ha that came out wrong ;)
