Quick question: Where to get Linux cd's (uk)
Please don't tell me to download them, I am on 56k, and I don't have that much time. Also please don't suggest I get one of either debian or slackware or gentoo.

linuxemporium.co.uk is kind of what I'm after, however they do not appear to provide downloaded .iso's of redhat, as they do with debian/slackware/mandrake.

I have a SuSe 8.0 pro box set here (the installation of which I've just broken ), and redhat 7.2, but I was kind of aiming to go for the latest redhat release. I don't really like SuSe, there is something indefineable about it I just don't like.

After about the middle of May this won't matter as I'll have broadband then and I'll just download me some .iso's.


anyway, know anywhere I can get what I'm after?

If you look closely at what they call "Pink Tie Linux 8.0", they're suspiciously similar to Red Hat Linux 8.0. The point is, Red Hat is trademarked so they can't use its name to advertise in any way, but the software is all or mostly free. So they rename everything to Pink Tie and take out the proprietary Red Hat graphics.
