The Red Hat Linux distribution is also issued under the GPL. We see our
role as making the Linux OS easy to install, configure, and maintain for
professional developers, system administrators, and students.
Red Hat Linux is available at no cost and few restrictions (see the
GPL) on many ftp sites on the Internet. It is also available on CD
from Red Hat Software http://www.redhat.com or (919) 572-6500 and
from most of the Linux archive CD vendors.
Red Hat Software, Inc. provides support for users of the Linux OS, from
individuals running a single workstation to large organizations running
hundreds of networked machines, in a variety of programs.
We gratefully acknowledge the support that we have received from the Linux
development community including Linus Torvalds, everyone on the Linux
contributors list, and the thousands of other developers who helped make
Linux the success it is today. We would also like to acknowledge the
growing contribution of commercial developers to our efforts including
Digital Equipment Corporation, O'Reilly
& Associates, Metro Linux Inc, and many others. You are encouraged to use
Red Hat's Linux distribution, to develop and add features, or simply package
programs that you need or that you think others would appreciate. Please do
not hesitate to contact us for any help you require.
