On a similar note what is the 79.95 for the Red Hat store bought version for? Paper and ink? Is this really a non-commercial enterprise?

I think they have 3 versions:
$40 - Just the CDs.
$80 - CDs, manuals, and installation support.
$300 - CDs, manuals, and installation + continuing support (mostly for corporate customers, I think).

So, yeah. I think the $80 is mostly just for paper and ink. Not exactly a bargain, IMHO.

Who ever said RH was a non-commercial enterprise? They are completely commercial. (But the software is still Free)

I would wait for the $1.99 version to come to cheapbytes.com in a week if you just need the CD.
