For many years, Red Hat Linux has been the market leader for many reasons, but it is only recently that Red Hat has put more work into the desktop side of its operating system compared to the work put into its server side. Getting a copy of Red Hat is very easy. You can either download the ISO images from RedHat.com or purchase the personal edition from sites such as Amazon.co.uk for around 31 Pounds. The biggest advantage of purchasing the boxed set rather then downloading is that you get the manual that can be good for inexperienced users.
