Regarding the first 3 CDs they are truely Redhat CDs.
The last CD contains redhat updates and a few more things
which are by no means redhat.
I do think we should add an inner cover(at least for the updates CD)
making it abundantly clear, that this CD was not compiled by RedHat but
does contain

Well, it is too late, and besides, there are both Fedora and MDK nowdays,
meant for newbies.
You should remember that Debian is not considered fit for newbies, and

Hello all,
This is a reminder that today (10/11) we will have a meeting with
installers before the Linux Day. The meeting will be held in room 3 in the
Taub Computer Science building at the Technion at 18:30. The meeting is
mandatory for those who wish to be installers in the Linux Day on
I have personally installed Debian for several newbies. There is
nothing, I repeat, nothing wrong with Debian for newbies. The only

On Mon,
We should prepare a small page saying (a) we give no warranties and (b) This
distribution does not include support (either technical or developer)
services from Red Hat but that such services may be purchased from Red Hat
separately. This page will be given to anyone who buys a CD set.
Note
This clean the first 3 CDs (we only need to fix the instalee forms
now...). We still need to fix the updates CD.
