Hi,

I guess you mean Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8, so you have to visit http://www.redhat.com, get a free evaluation subscription, and download the ISO image from their web site.

There is no issue to resolve. RHEL is a commercial, PAY FOR distro...you register at Red Hat's website and download. Further, RHEL 5.8 is ANCIENT and unsupported...the latest is 7.x. If you're not going to pay, then get CentOS instead.

Thank you all for your guidance. I will check at redhat website.

Hello and welcome to the forum

Just as a suggestion, you might want to change your username using the instructions at the top of the page here, lest your email inbox ends up with a boatload of SPAM in the very near future. You can find the "Contact Us" form here.

You might also take a look at CentOS. It's RHEL clone, now owned by RHEL.

Anyone of you have the ISO image of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 update 8.
I could see in the link but unable to download even after registering with Linuxquestions.org.

Sorry, but again NO...you can get these things from their respective websites. And AGAIN, 5.8 is VERY OLD, unsupported, and you SHOULD NOT USE IT, period. If you want Oracle Enterprise Linux, you go to Oracle's website and get it. Want Red Hat? Go to THEIR website.

And AGAIN, unless you are going to be PAYING FOR RHEL or OEL, then you should not be using them...they are commercial, PAY FOR distros.
