That's it. They cannot use the name "Red Hat Linux" due to trademark
restrictions. While we looked for a name for RULE we ran into this, too.
The lawyers at my company told me trademark protection is *very*
important for a company. I don't understand why, but I trust them, so I
understand Red Hat's way of not allowing others t use the name.

I volunteer to do just that, as long as I don't get overwhelmed with
orders. I did this several times already when someone asked on a mailing
list. I usually ask the recepients to just return the empty envelope in
another envelope back to me since I'm a stamp collector. So, direct your
orders directly to shugal[at]gmx.de (replace [at] with @, Spam
prevention) with subject "[RULE] Installation CDs".
