This is not a trivial issue. You can see CentOS website about legal terms and conflicts with Red Hat.<br><br>More here: <a href="http://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=66">http://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=66

<br>> I need to resell machines that bundle commercial software and runs on<br>> Red Hat Linux.<br>> But their license fee is too high to be affordable. It seems that I can<br>> redistribute their open source stuff as long as all Red Hat trademark
<br>> stuff has been removed.<br>> I am trying to do that but do not know which packages to start with<br>> because Red Hat's web site is very vague about how this can be done<br>> (intentionally I believe).<br>
><br>> I come across your site and find it very interesting. I appreciate if<br>> someone can answer the following questions for me:<br>><br>> 1. Can I use your package to install a machine for resell? Is there any
<br>> fee involved?<br>> 2. Is it based on Red Hat 9 or Red Hat enterprise system? If it is RHES<br>> based, what version?<br>> 3. All the RH RPM packages contain the string 'Vendor: Red Hat Inc."<br>> Does your package take care of that? If not, does that violate Red Hat's
<br>> EULA?<br>> 4. Does it have any extra stuff added?<br>> 5. If I decide to do it myself, what packages should I modify?<br>><br>> Any help will be greatly appreciated.<br>><br>> Alex<br>There are several Linux distributions based on RedHat Enterprise Linux, both
<br>version 3 and 4. I wouldn't reccomend doing it yourself, because you will have<br>to support it for years with updates.<br><br>--<br><br>/-----------------------\ |~~\_____/~~\__ |<br>| MailScanner; The best |___________ \N1____====== )-+
