No catch. Linux is free, thus, you are paying for the packaging, the
documentation and whatever the manufacturer wants to charge you.
That said, Red Hat comes with a manual, InfoMagic comes with a small
installation guide. Both include installation support.
Note that there will be a distributions review article in the September
issue of Linux Journal. Bad news is that it had to be done before Linux
2.0 was available. We will be doing distribution reviews each month on
individual distributions and will have an updated review in the 1st
annual Linux Buyer's Guide. It will be out in February and subscribers
will get it for free.
