Re: RHEL

I have not been able to find a way to get RHEL without paying for it.  RHN
doesn't have the iso's for public download.  Do you know of a way to get the
iso's?

Thanks,
Darryl

Hello,

  It will work fine. However, if you do not wish to ride the license
bandwagon of RedHat there are a couple of things to remember:

1. All updates for RHEL are made avaialable for free as src rpm's. If
you understand rpm-build (or can) it is very easy to keep
your box updated.

2. Fedora will maintain updates as well... and the above applies to
Fedora as well.

It really just depends on your needs.

Sincerely,

Joshua Drake
