Hmmm...did RH change something? When the Developers trial came out (last year?), we paid our $60 and did download RHAS2.1 ISOs. The problem with 2.1 is that it's so old, it wouldn't install properly on our new-ish hardware. At the time, I wasn't able to find any way to update the drivers, so I deemed it as "Not Viable".

The thing is, it's Linux. In order for it to be "Linux", they have to make the source publicly available. You may want to look at http://www2.uibk.ac.at/zid/software/unix/linux/rhel-rebuild.htm for a mini-HOWTO on building RHAS 2.1 from source. Hopefully it's similar for RHAS3. At least the price is right! :)

GL!
