Buy the Pro boxed set if: - You want the extra support that's included - You want the distro on DVD - You want the sys admin CD - you want to (and can afford to) contribute a little more to the cause Don't buy the Pro boxed set if: - You think they actually include the software that's listed on the extras cd. All that's there is demo/crippleware, or software that takes about 5 minutes to download from an online source. My opinion is (FWIW) you get the most bang for your buck by buying the Personal edition ($39.00USD + shipping) and a 1 year subscription to RHN ($60.00USD). YMMV HTH, stevep
