Fedora is not released in retail packaging, only via downloads.
Q: Will Fedora Core be sold in retail?
A: Fedora Core will not be sold through the retail channel as a
shrinkwrapped box. There is no list price for Fedora Core.
The rapid development pace we expect for Fedora Core doesn't suit retail
distribution — it is a lot of work to get a box product in and out of
the channel, and retail isn't set up to efficiently handle software that
is updated as often as every six months. Also, the creation of packaging
and other materials that are necessary for retail significantly slows
down the time to market, which means that users can't get the freshest
bits when they are still truly fresh. Further information on Red Hat's
retail product line is available at the Red Hat website.
