How to get highly Red Hat Desktop compatible Linux now and for free

10. May 2004

Lineox, Inc. has made available a web page with instructions how to get 
highly Red Hat Desktop compatible Linux now and for free. See page 
http://www.lineox.com/lel3desktop.php for a full version.

Red Hat has announced a new Red Hat Linux version aimed for desktop use 
and it is promised to be available in mid-May. According to the 
information provided by Red Hat on pages Red Hat Enterprise Linux 
Features and Benefits (http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/features/) 
and Red Hat Desktop (http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/desktop/), Red 
Hat Desktop is only a version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 with some 
program packages removed and some added. Even if Red Hat doesn't mention 
it, we are quite certain that Red Hat Desktop includes also all the 
updates published for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 up to about the end 
of April.

So to get highly Red Hat Desktop compatible Linux now and for free, you 
should first download Lineox Enterprise Linux 3.0, register to Lineox 
Enterprise Linux 3.0 update service and install all the available 
updates or to save time, download the latest Always Current Lineox 
Enterprise Linux (not a free download) and skip the update phase. Next 
you may want to remove the program packages which are not included in 
Red Hat Desktop and then download from the Internet and install the 
packages that are added to Red Hat Desktop.
