how do I download free Red hat Linux for my need?

Q. I've heard that Redhat Linux has mysql and mysqldev packages preinstalled, I want to use free software, not commercial, though when I went to download page of Redhat linux, it (enterprise dist. was commercial), I don't know, I only want to have BOTH mysql and libcrypto++ installed on my box, what is your suggestion?

Thanks!

A. redhat is commercial linux, meaning you have to pay for it - and its pretty expensive,

on the other hand, mysql is free and is available for any linux distribution,
just check in the software manager and install it,

you do not need redhat or redhat based systems, any linux will/should have it

where to download red hat Linux Enterprise?
Q. is red hat enterprice is free? where to download it? for learning purpose?

A. You should go to :
http://distrowatch.com/search.php
and use the search engine to filter which distro would be best for you. You can select a version for beginners, or multimedia, or a special purpose. They are all free to download. You can read reviews and articles about each distro. You can select a distro for ease of use, needs little ram or hard drive space, popularity, most software packages available, amount of customization,etc.

I would also suggest that you go to that distros website to read their documentation, especially if you are new to linux. They have tutorials on how to install, how to setup various hardware, and tips and tricks. I would also recommend using their forum to search/ask for info/help.

Where can I download red hat linux 9 free?
Q. I am a student of CSE 5th Semester. Please help me !!! How and from can I download red hat linux 9 free.

A. First you have to track it down, that might be a bit tricky since it is several years out of date.

You can get the latest version of RHEL from http://redhat.com/ and Fedora from http://fedoraproject.org/ - they are the two successors to the old Red Hat. (RHEL is commercial, Fedora is free).

If you really want to get your hands on the obsolete, unmaintained version then try ftp://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/ - but they haven't fixed security holes in it for years, so I strongly advise you not to.
