so they can put it in a pretty box with labled cds,instructions and offer you sopport. thats the deal with mandrake im sure theyre the same.

They'll be happy to sell it to you if you want to pay for it, and there are plenty of people who *do* pay for it.

Red Hat is a FREE OS. It is the support that costs ya money...

The retail version has more CDs, and comes with manuals and support. I always recomend buying a distro to newer users.
