Yes. Obviously all the software Redhat distributes is open source, so you do have access to the source code. If you visit the link you pasted, you'll see that they contain only the SRPMs. You need to setup a Redhat build system to build the binary RPMs from these SRPMs. This is what projects like CentOS do. You also should be aware that you are allowed to use the Redhat trademark only on systems that are entitled to it (ie, systems that pay for Redhat support). If you do not intend to pay Redhat, it is more convenient and desirable to use a community distribution like CentOS. Binand -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
