Yes, I have downloaded many packages from there already. My issue is that I _have_ to search around for these things and spend a lot of time (and sometimes pain) getting the system up to speed. If I have to download 30 packages and recompile the kernel, I may as well run Slackware. Maybe the professional version has more packages on the CDs. I searched the Red Hat web site, but can't find a package list for the pro version. I found the package list for the personal version. Does anyone know if there is a package list for the pro version?
