A quick note to all those Red Hat nay-sayers. I really like and admire Red Hat. They really do seem to understand about enlightened self interest. There are lots of examples of this you guys know them already. I'll just mention one more for non Australians. Australian Personal Computer has just published "The Linux Pocketbook". It costs AUD 14.95 and includes the full Red Hat 5.2 distribution plus a few more goodies. The Pocketbook is REALLY good. I even felt comfortable about trying FIPS with its help. Anyway the authors credit Red Hat with help in obtaining a distribution even though Red Hat 5.2 costs AUD 79.00 in retail outlets here. The pocketbook is really all you need even as a novice to get up and running. Red Hat undercut their own distrubtion channels in helping APC out because they know that this way they can reach a new bunch of users. Every piece of software Red Hat has written has been licensed either GPL or LGPL. I think they're totally cool, just what the leading Linux Company should be.
