Red Hat to no longer distribute boxed sets???

Hi All,

I just saw this article and was a bit surprised. Any thoughts?

I was looking forward to picking up the next release of Red Hat, and with only a modem connection, downloading is out of the question. Does this mean I should begin looking around for another distribution?

I didn't see many details in that story and it is the first I have heard of it. It actually sounds good to me. I hope that maybe "apt" will now become part of Red Hat. I'm sure you will still be able to get Red Hat CDs one way or another. I'll be willing to bet that if Red Hat doesn't do it, someone else will pick up the retail packaging. Certainly interesting. You don't have any friends who can download and create CDs from ISO for you?
