I'm not sure exactly what you are asking for. RH means Red Hat, no? What is AS?
RedHat Enterprise Linux. AS == Advanced Server. (they also have ES and WS...) My understanding is that the software and such is basically free, but you pay for support/update systems, etc. At the moment, btw, if you were a subscriber to RHN for the RH9 and previous versions, you can get a 50% discount to goto WS or ES for 2 years. AS 2.1 is old at this point, 3 came out a few months ago. I have ES 3 on my home server, and I've started rolling out ES and AS 3 at work. So far, things look good, minus the sometimes tempermental SCSI driver on the IBM x445 series (Summit code needed, sometimes the driver decides to wind itself into a ball and freeze the box...)
I have an old CD that says Red Hat 2.1 LiNUX with the "digital" logo. (as in Digital Equipment Corp, DEC) The files are dated November 1995. Is that what you are talking about?
I have one of those too, it was for the Alpha, and mine's autographed by Linus. ;) -- Randomly Generated Tagline: Running Windows on a Pentium is like having a brand new Porsche but only be able to drive backwards with the handbrake on. (Unknown source)
