questions about distributions

[Jerry Feldman]

Red Hat has 3 packages, Standard ($29,95), Deluxe($79.95) and 
Professional($149.95). Right now, if you get the Professional Edition you 
get a free hat. Only the Deluxe edition is available for Sparc and Alpha. 
It's hard to compare, but I believe that SuSE is comparable with the Red 
Hat Deluxe in terms of content, features and support. SuSE ships 6 CDs 
including source.
