Yes, you CAN. But a couple of caveats:
1. Don't call it Red hat Linux.... they have insisted that other
vendors reselling their own CD images of Red Hat not call it
Red hat. Trademrk dilution issues, and also issues of which
customers get free support and which don't (if you didn't buy
it directly from Red hat you don't, but apparently people were
buying the 3rd party copies and expecting it).
2. morally you ought to buy it from Red Hat. they put a lot of
time into building the distribution and making it available.
If you're selling systems containing their distribution the
very least you can do is let Red hat have the few bucks they
earn from a copy. Is $59 additional per machine really going
to kill you?
