Redhat Download Free

If anybody is looking to download and tryout Redhat Linux, its totally free. Go here to download the latest version:

<a href="http://www.redhat.com/apps/download/" target="_blank">http://www.redhat.com/apps/download/</a>

Also if you have never downloaded Redhat before I strongly suggest you read this page to figure out how to download and set it up on a burned cd or other media so that you can install it:

If you would rather avoid all these hassels and just get a premade cd you could always order a copy from Redhat for a small fee:

on another note. wheni downloaded it, there were 5 discs to download, i however, only needed 3 of them when i actually installed it. not sure if it was because i didnt install every available option or what but something to note.. Also be sure to read about the already discovered security holes that has already been addressed, one that i recall is in bind, dont recall the others, there are already patches out for these.

This is probably the best place to start http://www.linux.org/

Then go from there.

Could somebody please help me on this:

http://linux.ed.ac.uk/linux/redhat-9/

I did download the files that were in folder "doc" and "i386" that were in "iso" folder. What about license? Do we have any license at all? Please also let me know if I need to download some thing else apart from the above mentioned files.
Thanks

why are you downloading RH9? its old, out of date, and NOT supported by redhat. i dont really see the point in using something which isn't supported by the company that produced it, especially when you can get a better, more updated "cutting-edge" distro which is sponsored by redhat (Fedora).

this is supposed to be the last free version of redhat produced (before fedora replaced it) so there shouldn't be any licensing issues. you shouldn't need any files (to install) other than the iso's, which you have to burn as a disk image and NOT as a data disk.

Thank you AnarChy. I have started downloading Fedora. I am new to Linux and know nothing about it.
Thanks for helping me on this.

Hello,
I am planning on doing a UNIX certification and since I don't have PC that's got UNIX installed, I was adviced by my friend to install Linux on a home PC and atleast have a basic understanding on usage of commands and configuration.

Now that somebody in the forum said that Red Hat 9 is obselete and that they asked me to download Fedora, which I did. To prepare for UNIX certification, would either Linux Red Hat 9.0 or Fedora help me (though not to the fullest)?

What's missing in Fedora that I would have learned from Red Hat 9.0?

Btw, I am planning on preparing for HP-UX CSA. How different is HP-UX from Linux RedHat and Fedora?
