Easons (O'Connell St) have Redhat 6.1 Box sets at the moment. Standard for £44 and
delux for £100 ish. Apparently theres also a professional but no sign. 

Also definite linux.

Personally I prefer to download the iso and burn to cd, or grab from
mag. 

Why pay £44+ for something that's free?

The docs are on line and with the distribution. Nice to have a hard copy
I suppose...
