I received my order from BUY.COM today. Here's what you get in the box:
9 CDs in total:
- 4 CDs labeled "Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS for the x86 architecture"
- these are the installation CDs - i.e. binary rpms
- 3 CDs with the source rpms
- 1 CD with the documentation (see below)
- 1 CD with the "extras"
BEA Jrockit
IBM Java JRE and SDK
These have commercial licenses according to rpm
1 Red Hat Service Activation Card
- You need the number from the Activation Card to get your up2date
support.
A $250 off coupon on any Red Hat training course
The Installation Guide for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
The box says that 4 additional manuals are on CD. It's actually a lot
better than that. Besides you installation guide (which is on CD as
well as on paper), you get:
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Administration Guide
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux Reference Guide
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux Security Guide
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux Introduction to System Administration
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Tools Guide
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux Using cpp, the C Preprocessor
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux Debugging with gdb
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux Using ld, the GNU Linker
These documents are all available online.
The full package list is at http://www.ewilts.org/rhpw-rpms
So...to answer the question about how this compares to RHEL WS, I
believe the answer is simply this: it *IS* RHEL WS - the documentation,
the CDs, everything says it is RHEL WS. The only difference is the level
of support you get.
