free versions may not have all features, so take care.

for example?

RedHat Enterprise Linux is free, or atleast I got it officially free but it does not have ftp, dns, dhcp servers. Some of the other branded linux distros too have some features removed from their free versions. This information is available on their websites.

ive used redhat from 4.2 to 9 and all had the above servers, so have the versions of mandrake, debian and suse that i have tried - i thought rhel was a paid for thingie. In fact i find your post extremely weird. And why would anyone buy 'branded distros' whatever they are?
