RE: [aclug-L] Special Edition Redhat LINUX at Sams Wholesale

[Michael Holmes <maholmes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have 6.0 coming in the mail from cheap*bytes, but I wanted the books. 
 The linux unleased is 49.95 by itself( I was going to buy it on the next 
stop).  I saved 20.00 plus I got three other books to boot! :-)

>I just went to sams and picked up 5.2 deluxe...

Yeah, they've had that for awhile.  It was a good deal...until about when
Red Hat released 6.0.  Not to say it's still not a good deal, considering
the books you get (and the fact that Linux is worth a lot more then $30,
even an older revision).

5.2 gives you a 2.0.36 kernel, 6.0 gives you 2.2.5.  5.2 gave you an early
prerelease of Gnome in a seperate directory, 6.0 will install released
versions of both gnome & KDE for you...right off the the main os CD. IMHO
6.0's a nice upgrade.
