Is Red Baron worth it?

I'm thinking of upgrading my Slackware 3.0 system to RedHat 4.1
(1.2.13 kernel to 2.0).  The trouble is I can't decide whether to
get the official RedHat 4.1 (2 CDs, book, metro-X and Red Baron) for
$49 or just go for the RedHat "power tools" 6 CD set for $27
(Leonard Chan prices BTW).

Is there any reason I should prefer the metro-X server over the ones
that come standard with Xfree86?? (given that I've only got a plain
type S3 video card, nothing too fancy)

The RedHat linux users guide is nice I guess, but is it really much
use?? (especially since I can ftp it anyway)

So what's Red Baron like?? (compared to netscape 3.0)  Is it just a
browser, or is it an editor or anything as well??  Is it worth the
extra $22??

Thanks for any info,
Dave.
