RED HAT HAT'S:
But that is not THE BIG NEWS, which is:
That we have recently received the Linux product that you -have- to have,
namely the RED HAT. Only $15.00 plus S&H.
This is a 100% cotton high quality low profile baseball style cap, with an
adjustable leather strap - it fits (almost) all hat sizes. It is an all-red
cap with a square graphic on the front featuring Red Hat's "walking man" and
the words "Red Hat Linux" in an attractive design.
Designed by Whitecap Designs, Inc. of Toronto, this is probably the coolest
new Linux product that will be available this year! ;-)
RED HAT T-SHIRTS:
Also available is a Red Hat t-shirt, with a similar but expanded design with
the Red Hat Linux slogans: "Moving at the speed of Linux" and "It's the
Packaging System, Stupid." (see 1992 US presidential race for ref.).
The t-shirt is Hanes quality 100%, it is available in large and extra large
sizes (please specify). Also only $15 plus s&h.

OVERVIEW OF THE RED HAT COMMERCIAL LINUX DISTRIBUTION:
Red Hat Commercial Linux 2.0 (Red Hat 2.0) is a completely
ELF based system -- If you have been putting off the upgrade to ELF,
or have been having trouble upgrading a piece at a time, Red Hat 2.0
can save you the trouble.
Four installation innovations make Red Hat 2.0 the easiest Linux to
install ever. Our new graphical installation mode brings you straight
up into X for most of the installation. Our boot disk creation script
eases selection of the proper boot disk, and it saves your existing
network configuration information and XF86Config so you don't have to
configure TCP/IP or X! Our FTP install allows you to install simply
by downloading 3 floppy disk images -- the rest is done automatically!
And finally, the installation includes seamless support for PCMCIA
devices -- install Red Hat 2.0 on your laptop as easily as on your
desktop machine!
This will be the last Linux system you ever install. The new rpm
packaging system is sophisticated enough to allow upgrading to new Red
Hat releases without a reinstalling your system - no partitioning, no
backing up all your files, no headaches.
Also included are all the popular Red Hat graphical control panel
utilities that have simplified system administration for Red Hat
users for over a year.
