Where can I download red hat linux 9 free?

Q. I am a student of CSE 5th Semester. Please help me !!! How and from can I download red hat linux 9 free.

A. First you have to track it down, that might be a bit tricky since it is several years out of date.

You can get the latest version of RHEL from http://redhat.com/ and Fedora from http://fedoraproject.org/ - they are the two successors to the old Red Hat. (RHEL is commercial, Fedora is free).

If you really want to get your hands on the obsolete, unmaintained version then try ftp://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/ - but they haven't fixed security holes in it for years, so I strongly advise you not to.

Is there any other OS set of Linux software for download?
Q. Ubuntu is a set of Linux operating system software with the Linux OS that is distributed over the web. Is there any other set of Linux operating system software that is distributed over the web? Red Hat does provide Linux for download but it provides only the OS, I think.

A. Ubuntu, Red Hat and most other distros are complete, and often quite large downloads. There are some specialty distros that are smaller.

www.distrowatch.org lists 360+ distros. Check them out. Basically any of the main stream distros will be just as complete and can load pretty much the same software sets - with some (usually only) minor differences, if any.

If you get a distro DVD, you will get much more software than you would get with a Windoze installation. CDs because of size limitations don't have that quantity, but they should have links in the software to download as much as you would like once the program is set up and running.

where to download red hat Linux Enterprise?
Q. is red hat enterprice is free? where to download it? for learning purpose?

A. You should go to :
http://distrowatch.com/search.php
and use the search engine to filter which distro would be best for you. You can select a version for beginners, or multimedia, or a special purpose. They are all free to download. You can read reviews and articles about each distro. You can select a distro for ease of use, needs little ram or hard drive space, popularity, most software packages available, amount of customization,etc.

I would also suggest that you go to that distros website to read their documentation, especially if you are new to linux. They have tutorials on how to install, how to setup various hardware, and tips and tricks. I would also recommend using their forum to search/ask for info/help.
