    What are CentOS and Whitebox? Sounds like leftovers from an old
    > gymshoe :)

    They are free versions of RHEL. Centos and Whitebox are built from the
    Redhat sources, the only difference between them and official RHEL is that
    they've removed the Redhat logos. Centos is currently at RHEL 4.1 which is
    the current release. You are trying to peddle an obsolete version of RHEL,
    version 3, a version that was out of date the day Redhat shipped it
    because they chose to use the 2.4 kernel rather than the 2.6 kernel which
    was relatively new at the time.

    You would be better off trying to sell our old gym shoes over the net then
    trying to sell an outdated Linux distribution, nobody gives away new gym
    shoes.
