[OT] Red Hat AS downloadable

[Joel Jaeggli]

The betas are available for download from some of the mirrors... The iso's 
for rhel 3 release are not, only the sources.

Whitebox linux which is built from the source rpms is available, it should 
be functionally equivalent to rhel 3. The other componets of rhel 3 namely 
the support your paying for are harder to eval without either buying it 
or talking to the pre-sales support types at redhat.
