An Australian mag had BeOS, Redhat 6.1 and OS/2 on 3 cd's a year or so back. I have the cd's. I'm not sure of the licensing on the OS/2 cd, but if anyone wants a copy I'll take a look at it. Let me know in time to do something b4 thursday :-0
I played with BeOS and OS/2 at the time (already had linux). Both were interesting and were only removed to make room for other stuff.
