Well, you don't have to buy it from RedHat. Costco has std for $25,
with the install guide and 2 CDs. You can buy almost any dist. (bare CD
only) at Linuxmall for $1.89 (including RedHat). Or you can buy any
boxed set there or CheapBytes for a decent discount. I think the best
deal right now, certainly for those new to Linux (ie, the
windoze-impaired), is the Corel Deluxe at Costco for $25 ($69 at
eLinux.com). Someone just said they even saw it with a $20 rebate
someplace else (I forget where). Office Depot had a RedHat special a
couple weeks ago for $19. It pays to shop around...
