I know you usually pay for them, but if you don't want support, documentation or anything like that and don't have a RHN account is there a way to get a copy of a RHEL ISO for home use only?
There are couple of "clone" distribution, for example White Box, Tao Linux, and/or Centos. They are basically identical to RHEL3 (all packages are built from RHEL3 SRPMs).
You can also download for free beta version of RHEL4 from Red Hat's web site. Versions of packages in RHEL3 are quite old, so if you want something newer, might be a way to go (although if you want to test installing commercial package <insert name here> on RHEL, you probably want RHEL3 or clone since that is what most of them support).
How well does CentOS and other RHEL clones stack up toe the real thing. Do people use them as production enviornment replacements? I have often wondered.
