Red Hat 9 was included on the cover of Linux User and Developer at the time of 
the last Linux show I went to, and consisted of a set of 3 CDs. These same 3 
CDs were also sold as (IIRC) "Red Hat Linux 9 Standard Edition", together 
with the corresponding 3 CDs of source code and 1 documentation CD. Other 
editions ("Professional", "Deluxe", etc) included additional CDs containing 
full versions or demos of various commercial applications and games together 
with additional reference manuals.
