| Hi, Im trying to find out a list of packages included in the ES 3.0, on the
RH site. Also if I do get the ES, do I'll have all the packages for desktop
an development. Do I need to purchase the WS & ES in order to have all the
packages suplied in the RH 9.0 version?
Thx in advance,

You can get that inside RHN, if you have purchased it... I don't know
anywhere that lists the packages before a purchase.

Yes - a standard ES installation is also a desktop computer.

Red Hat Linux 9.0 has no equivalent any more. Fedora contains other
packages, and so does RHEL. Actually, quite a few packages from Red Hat
Linux 9.0 don't exist in RHEL - like pine (with the pico editor), mc
(midnight commander). But this doesn't mean that you can't install that
yourself - it only means that Red Hat does not give you enterprise level
support on those packages.
When you buy RHEL, you don't buy software, you buy support and services. As
far as I can remember, RHEL contains 1200 packages, which Red Hat supports
and services, and this is a platform on which you can install additional
software, which you must support yourself or which a 3rd party vendor
supports. If you want to include extra packages with Red Hat Network, you
can do so by installing a Red Hat Network proxy server - contact RH sales
for more info, since I don't know all the details.
Lars.

| Thanks for your answer. I have just installed Fedora Core 1, but to my
surprise, updating the system is *extremely* slow, so i would consider
to buy RHES, but want to be sure I'll get the development & desktop
packages, i.e., gcc, quanta, kdevelop, emacs, vim, etc. and ofcourse
gnome & kde, if not I would consider to switch to Suse. I searched the
RH site but nowhere is a reference of the packages included in the RHEL
versions.

Use a mirror server for updates!
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedo...y/msg03379.html
It's annoying to see that people can not think over setting up a mirror
from the mirror list at fedora.redhat.com but complaining about low speed 
Alexander
P.S. The SRPM list of RHEL 3 is available on every Redhat FTP mirror
server and thus browsable for packages.
