You can always download, compile and install those RPMS from the source RPMs on the RedHat site.

I know the difference. I am not highlighting any individual problem. The point being highlighted was about how popular names in linux have become commercialised. Earlier there was one distro that gave the choices of different installations like my Red Hat 8 which had a desktop, workstation and server installation choices in it and it was free. Now these companies distribute software in different packages and price them accordingly. Debian is definately a promising distro that is recomended by many experts but those who are switching over from windows know more about brands like RedHat, Mandrake and SuSe.
