I want to buy Red Hat 7.0

Does anyone have a copy of RH 7.0? My set is toast. Thanks

I can send it to you, Ohio is not far away from NY, just e-mail me your address

Have you ever thought about just getting the latest version, 7.0 was about the buggiest version of Redhat there ever was.

I got 6.2, 7.1 and 7.2. I never really had a problem with 7.0. With 7.1 and 7.2, the gui runs kinda slow on my Pentium Pro. Before anyone mentions Fluxbox, Blackbox, Window Maker, etc.... KDE is what I started on and I like it.

I know where you can download ISOs for 7.0.

You made a mistake, 6.2 was the best and 7.1/7.2/7.3 was the buggies

Ah, you see you're still wrong! Slackware is the best, and the others are buggies

(says he currently running Mandy because his Slack CDs have gone to cahoot and he can't afford the time on 33/56k dial-up to d/l Slack 8.1)

I just checked the main RH ftp site, and I'm affraid that 7.0 isn't available for download, although it almost certainly will be on some mirror site or other.

I never said which one was the best ever, only the buggiest. Though I do agree with you on that one, 6.2 was the last version I used and liked out of the Redhat distro.

And Thymox though is correct with Slackware, its the all round best there is out of all of them..

Thanks for the ISO link, but I am on dial-up (it blows big time). If had the money I would start a wireless ISP here, so nobody in the county would have to suffer with dial-up. Dreams, dreams, dreams.

Perhaps if you contact some of those 'companies' that sell Linux CDs cheap, they may have some old RH7.0 CDs spare. I know that one of the UK based 'companies' offers old distros' CDs for free when your order is not divisable by 4 (so, if you ordered Mandy 8.2 download CD edition, which comes on 3 CDs, then you could ask for a 'free' old distro as the 4th CD). Just a thought. Oh, and I'm affraid I don't know any US based cheap-distro-seller urls.

No worries, I got the copies of the original set, which I bought, and I still have the original sources CD, so I am sending it to you.
Cheers
