Looks that way - I bought my distro off the shelf at the local Staples
Office Supplies store, assuming it was the 'official' boxed set. After all,
the front of the box says "The Complete redhat LINUX 5.2 Operating System
Deluxe." As it turns out, it's actually the Macmillan Digital Publishing
version. I'm don't know exactly what was included in RedHat's official
version of 5.2, but the Macmillan version came with 3 CD's: Install, Source,
and "Bonus". The Bonus CD contained extra software, as well as four complete
Linux books in .pdf format. Also included was a pre-made boot floppy, and a
385-page installation guide. The installation guide is very well done, and
did a nice job of walking me through the installation and configuration
process.
