Perhaps because there is no standard yet in the world of Linux. What works in RedHat may not necessarily work in SuSE or Debian or Caldera, etc. With each distribution, you get software that <definiely> works with that distribution, as well as support from the distribution company for x amount of time. However, you can get the different distributions cheaply at a certain website that I can't remember off the top (or bottom) of my head. Perhaps someone could help me out... They are about $2 US per CD (or like $20 US for all 11 CD's they offer). I believe that it is 9 different distros.

Being a novice in the linux field, please can someone tell me the
advantage of
obtaining a new distribution (by any company)? The way I see it once you're up and running you can simply download (size pending) the latest version of product x whenever you want it. Each distribution costs y amount of dosh so it isn't exactly cheap.
Perhaps I'm missing the point?
