You could check http://www.zip.com.au/~lychan

Leonard is taking orders for RedHat 5.0 with books and stuff
I believe, I think he may even have it in stock.

5.0 is a whole new thingy, so wther to go with it rather than
an older but possibly more stable release is a difficult question.

However, upgrading should be dead easy if you choose to take 4.2 now
and 5.0 later.  On the other hand, 5.0 has all the latest security
and bug fixes.
