[Scottish] RH8.0 vs MDK8.2 (Linux by any other name just isn' t Mandrake)

[Huard, Elise - D C&W Consultant]

And by the way, it's possible to get it free ...
ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/8.0/en/iso/i386/
for instance, but i'm sure there are mirrors in the UK (got this address
from another mailing list).
once you're seduced by a distro you can buy the booklet and the support if
you want, but why bother if you're going to regret it ...
