hi, there
I download 4 ISO files form RedHat ftp site a few days ago. and I do not have free PC to install it yet.
there are ISO files' name
nahant-i386-AS-disc1.iso
nahant-i386-disc2.iso
nahant-i386-disc3.iso
nahant-i386-disc4.iso

But today when I visited ftp.redhat.com again.
there are new iso files.
they are named
RHEL4-Beta2*.iso
so, if they are beta2, what's the old iso files? beta 1?

The first iso's where the first beta release... RedHat is not giving those versions for free. But the community gets the beta versions. You can still download the SRPMS of the system once it is officially released. RHEL4 is supposted to be released in May (I think, not sure). If you are looking for a distro to run on a server, I would say www.whiteboxlinux.org or another clone....
