Let's be fair to RedHat, thier distribution is available from others as
part of Linux Archives, and I have even seen it given away on Mag covers.
But the 'official' RedHat CD' is supplied with reference manual and some
commercial elements, such as Metro-X. You are also subsidising thier
contribution to making Linux accesible to the masses, so if you are not a
guru it would seem only fair...
