    I received my order from BUY.COM today. Here's what you get in the box:
    9 CDs in total:
    - 4 CDs labeled "Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS for the x86 architecture"
            - these are the installation CDs - i.e. binary rpms
    - 3 CDs with the source rpms
    - 1 CD with the documentation (see below)
    - 1 CD with the "extras"
            BEA Jrockit
            IBM Java JRE and SDK
            These have commercial licenses according to rpm
    1 Red Hat Service Activation Card
      - You need the number from the Activation Card to get your up2date
        support.
    A $250 off coupon on any Red Hat training course

    The Installation Guide for Red Hat Enterprise Linux

    The box says that 4 additional manuals are on CD. It's actually a lot
    better than that. Besides you installation guide (which is on CD as
    well as on paper), you get:
        * Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Administration Guide
        * Red Hat Enterprise Linux Reference Guide
        * Red Hat Enterprise Linux Security Guide
        * Red Hat Enterprise Linux Introduction to System Administration
        * Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Tools Guide
        * Red Hat Enterprise Linux Using cpp, the C Preprocessor
        * Red Hat Enterprise Linux Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)
        * Red Hat Enterprise Linux Debugging with gdb
        * Red Hat Enterprise Linux Using ld, the GNU Linker
    These documents are all available online.

    The full package list is at http://www.ewilts.org/rhpw-rpms

    So...to answer the question about how this compares to RHEL WS, I
    believe the answer is simply this: it *IS* RHEL WS - the documentation,
    the CDs, everything says it is RHEL WS. The only difference is the level
    of support you get.
