In compliance with the GPL, RH must make available all of
its Enterprise Linux sources free.

Here is the full RHEL 3.0 distribution with all RH logos and
trademarks removed, in compliance with their redistribution
restrictions:

Here are some others freely distributing RHEL without the
RH logos and trademarks:

"Since source RPM packages of all RHEL products are
freely available on the company's FTP servers and mirrors,
why not use them to build a complete RHEL clone? All
that had to be done was remove trademarked logos and
other references to Red Hat from the original source RPMs,
then compile them into binary ones, and voilà - a new
distribution is born. And because all Red Hat erratas and
updates are also released in the form of source RPMs, keeping
this new distribution up-to-date with security patches would be a
simple matter of compiling the updated source RPMs and releasing
them for download."

Those are full RHEL 3.0 distributions.

Quoted from second link above:

"White Box Enterprise Linux was the first officially released
distribution built from RHEL's source RPMs. The project was
initiated by a public library in Louisiana, USA and its motivation
is best summed up by the representatives of the library itself..."

Today's word is: "read".
Today's phrase is: "read before posting a reply and looking dumb."
