White Box Linux: RHAS w/o the trademarked graphics (Score 2, Interesting)

There are several efforts under way to build and create installable freely-redistributable ISOs from the RHEL 3 SRPMs.

Note also that RH does make SRPMs of updates to RHEL freely available for download. So such a distribution can benefit from RH's updates/patches/security fixes.

One of these I have here is "White Box Linux". Its web page specifically asks that it not be linked to from /., and I'll comply with that request. Use Google to find it, if you really do want to get a copy (via BitTorrent) of its RC1 ISOs. There is also a mini-HOWTO on rebuilding RHEL at http://www.uibk.ac.at/zid/software/unix/linux/rhel -rebuild.htm and an associated mailing list at http://www.uibk.ac.at/zid/software/unix/linux/rhel -rebuild-l.html.

For some ex-RH users, this kind of "unsupported forked varient from RHEL3" may be a better choice than Fedora, without paying $$$ for official RHEL.
