Red Hat is acting just like Microsoft, how gay.

I can't say I blame them for acting like a business - and this tactic probably won't work exceptionally well. The page is difficult to find through simple navigation, and RH 7.3 can simply be downloaded for free - so why buy?

Just my 2 cents

I'm still trying to incorporate RED Hat with windows, Red Hat doesn't take prisoners like Mandrake does!

That's a pretty good reason rob - I wouldn't want to wait 3 days for the d/l either.

SearchSkillz - I actually had a fair amount of success with dual-booting red hat/windows - install windows first - that's the key. I use GRUB as the boot loader, though I know it works fine with LILO also. If you use FAT as your partition type, you can even access them from linux by mounting that partition with the vfat option, like so:

mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_drive

where hda1 is the second partition (my windows FAT one) on the primary hard drive
