You have several options. Either you can sign up for a 30-day evaluation of Red Hat Developer Connection (which includes RHEL and a bunch of other cool developer stuff) at http://www.redhat.com/solutions/industries/developer/products/basic.html You can contact your sales rep and ask him/her to set up a 30-day RHEL only eval. You can get a RHEL only eval at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/details/eval/ If you are or your child is a student, you can get an academic subscription for all of $30 for desktop or $60 for server at http://www.redhat.com/solutions/education/academic/individual/ - see http://www.redhat.com/solutions/education/academicqualification/ for what it takes to qualify for a student subscription. -- Hope this helps, Thomas -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
