Manish,
If you didnt knew that you cannot call RedHat Linux, unless you buy a box pack from RH reseller channel. So the download version has to be named anything other then RH linux, so i feel if someone says Linux 8.0, he must have got that printed on the Downloaded CD which he must have bought.
You could have a point there. On the following link you would find that there are different binary packages available for download but mentioned in a way which I found a bit unusual. For example, it says, RedHat 8 RPM i386 packages: GTK version (about 4,660,000 bytes) AND Linux RedHat 8: GTK version (about 3,532,000 bytes)
Both are different packages with different package size.Now what is the difference intended by saying "RedHat 8 RPM" packages and "Linux RedHat 8" packages? For instance, I am using RedHat Linux 8 (downloadable version - Not a Box pack), which package should I download? I couldn't make out.The same is the case with Debian packages also. (Debian 3 & Linux Debian 3). Let me admit that I was not able to search further on the website on this issue due to time constraints.But anybody aware on this, please enlighten.
The link is as under,
