Redhat 5.1 has the main installation disk, a source code disk, and a
disk containing commercial software (or at least cutdown versions).
To be honest, I haven't looked at the commercial software yet - I got
everything I needed on the main installation disk.
You might be better off with the CD pack from LSL. Debian is a rather
attractive distribution (not that RedHat isn't), but initially you
could try before you settle on a particular distribution.
However, I found having a printed copy of the installation manual with
RedHat an advantage, being new to installing Linux.

Personally, I like having BRU. Much more reliable than 'tar'. But you
can get the Red Hat "Boxed Set" for less than $30 if you get it from
LSL.
As somebody else said, Debian is worth a try too. I keep intending to
set up a Debian partition on my home computer, but never get around to
it :-(.

1. Red Hat 7.1 - Installing Red Hat packages after Red Hat is already installed.
How can I install packages that I forgot to install with the Red Hat
7.1 installation?
Here's my problem:
Various pieces of Red Hat keep saying that I am missing a file and
that it needs to be installed with a certain package (namely most of
the Kontrol Panel). But I have been unsuccessful at finding where
this is done. I am still a newbie with Linux, but I would assume that
there should be an "Add/Remove Programs" equivalent with Linux.
Please help!
