Personally, I'm waiting for Cheapbytes to get their versions in-stock,
and then ordering there again (that's how I got 5.2)

http://www.cheapbytes.com/
5.2 was $1.99 + S&H.
I't much the same as d'loading all the RedHat stuff from their server
and burning your own CD, but less hassle, and it can be booted off of
for installation.

(BTW, for the impatient, slashdot had a link to someplace that is
burning custom 6.0 one-offs and sending them out now. Somewhere around
$4.00 each + S&H)

I just checked the Cheapbytes page, and they have new info up as of this
morning:

And for those of us in Australia, http://www.everythinglinux.com.au
is one place to look.

This is what I did after RedHat inflated the price for their version. I
believe that it's still worth it for what you get, but I've become a miser.
Plus, I just don't need a printed manual (the manual is on the disk,
anyway). The CheapBytes CD worked great for me.
