Why is Linux free?  Same reason :)  They liked the idea of
it, and do it for fun and love.

I don;t think so, but you can buy a $25 4 CD RedHat that has the
live version CDROM and the same sunsite archives as the
InfoMagic CD.  lychan@zip.com.au has them.

The 1st CD on that has the working live system so you can install
from CDROM - as I have used it to do so.  As far as I can tell,
that disk is the same as the $75 disk, you just don't get the
book or the MetroX Xwin stuff.

Naah.  Unix is just an OS< it's a tool.  YOu then connect
to the net, or run a web server or write Xapps in TCL or
hack Perl, or do any of the other things that you do with
a computer.
