The boxed sets..The boxed sets..Posted Jul 24, 2003 10:49 UTC (Thu) by deatrich (subscriber, #25)Parent article: The new Red Hat Linux
The boxed-set thing has always been a difficult proposition. I have in some form or other all boxed-sets (except two I think) since 3.0.3 But most of them have come from buying them online from redhat or others in Canada or the States, or mostly from hardware vendors who provide smaller boxed sets with the hardware. I think I've only ever bought a few boxes in a store, and that was long ago. For the last few years I have found it difficult to even find a boxed Red Hat set on store shelves, at least here in Europe. Mostly you find SuSE or Mandrake. Moreover in Europe when you try to buy boxed sets online from Red Hat Europe, the shipping fees are so attrociously high that it takes your breath away. It will be interesting to see how hardware vendors sell RH linux-installed systems. What will vendors like Dell and Transtec offer as Red Hat pre-installed systems in the future?
