Anyone have an evaluation copy or something of either AS or ES versions.

3 or 4 preferably. 5 is too advanced for my needs.

So... RHEL 3 ES or AS edition.

or you could get an older copy of Fedora Core and install the server release?

Could do, but would prefer RHEL, as opposed to the fedora branch, as I can play about with what I need to, knowing that what im playing about with is not subject to change.

ah ok.  IIRC whatever version Fedora is on is one ahead of RedHat.  They used to effectively use Fedora as a Beta release of RHEL.  The downside to RHEL is that it costs a metric assload of cash, good OS though.

Aye. I looked at Core 4 server, but while im figuring some stuff out, much prefer to at least know what im working with is the right stuff.

Have you used CENTOS before? appears promising, being a direct fork of the code, minus the RH support... and I can get hold of CentOS 3 which is apparantly RHEL 3. :|

I used centos as my testing webserver for a while.  Not used it in a year or so, but it was pretty good to be honest.

Got CentOS3 installed, its pretty much exactly the same as RHEL AS 3. Some of the rpms just have centos in the version, as opposed to RHEL3 or similar. Sorted.

centos is the same thing without branding.

set up many scalix and asterisk servers using it.

the one major prob is sh*tty yum + RPMs

yum update should be changed to yum update lottery

cool @ mark. Managed to finally get hold of RHEL 3 AS U5 now so no need to worry about cent-os. Using unofficial repos to do updates, but not fussed at present as they arent necessary. Thanks for the help
