Re: Boxed set not available anywhere

[Robert L. Cochran]

Is money really the issue? I've tried persuading a friend to use Red Hat in any version for a couple years now. At his request I've given him CD sets ever since versions 6.1 or 6.2. He still hasn't installed Red Hat. I'll give him my 8.0 CD set too, but this time I'll try to supply some color screen shots with them as a carrot. Well a Hershey Bar?

Yes, I think that was great of Red Hat to reduce the price on the
"Personal" edition. That by itself may encourage more people who are
considering trying Linux to buy the boxed set. I think a $40 price tag
looks a lot more compelling to a new user then the $60 price tag that
was on the 7.x versions.
