Okay.. here's your direct link.. http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/

Seems to be the same domain, just a different subdirectory on their server.. sorry for the confusion..

And if your just looking for a free download, maybe you should read the EULA for Redhat Enterprise.. it would be considered pirating and warez, in which if that's the case I'll go ahead and close this thread now since we don't associate with such things..

Regards.

First of all its not really the software your paying for, maybe you should read the docs on it and learn why it costs money for them to produce this product, support, etc.
Secondly there is nothing wrong with a business that works hard to put something together for commercial businesses. It costs money, bottomline and if they didn't make money, well half the distros we have and Linux wouldn't be where its at today. And trust me, they do put in as well as take. Anyone who works and develops open source software is giving back to the community. Redhat doesn't just sit around and wait for all the developers across the world to make new updates so they can just bundle it up to make money.. I'm sorry but you seem misconcepted on that aspect of Redhat as a company and everything else about FREE software.

I could go on for hours but I'm not going to preach to the people who just don't get it on how to run a company to make a profit..

One other thing as well, even the FSF and GNU state that making money off "Free" Software is perfect. I think your misunderstanding the word FREE when people say its FREE. Oh well..

And I edited your last phrase, don't ask others to PM you to get a link to pirated software as first you don't have PM enabled and secondly its against the law. We are the official forums of Redhat, I think it would be wise to not discuss or openly admit your pirating their software.

Regards.

PS. Since this was a thread to attain pirated software, I'm closing it at this time as we don't associate in such activity on this site, along with zero toleration of members who use this site to get licensed or pirated software. If your opinion differs from this as our rules state what I've said, then feel free to email me privately.
