I snagged a copy of RHEL when I did my training - we had a few extras at work for systems that were not yet deployed so I got off cheap. I personally run Tao Linux at home and it's close enough to RHEL for my day-to-day work and support is adequate for a home desktop. I've never used CentOS. Other than getting updates via yum instead of up2date (and you should know up2date for the RHCE), I can't think of a reason my Tao Linux would not suffice as a training distro. That said, Red Hat does offer a 30-day trial of RHEL on their website that you can download. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
