Red Hat Linux 5 — Complete Big Box Retail Edition (1997)
This is the full Red Hat Linux 5.0 Complete retail package from 1997.Includes everything shown:
Original big box (excellent condition)
2 CD‑ROMs in original jewel case
Boot floppy + Supplemental floppy (both untested)
Registration sheet with serial number
Getting Started guide
Applixware Office Suite offer sheet
All original inserts and paperwork
The CDs were tested and read fine. Floppy disks are untested due to lack of compatible hardware.
This edition includes the full Red Hat 5 software environment, featuring:
Games pack with arcade titles, strategy games, flight sims, Doom, Tetris‑style games, and more
Classic Linux utilities and system tools
A great collector piece from the early days of Linux distribution history.Like most vintage Linux releases, this version is not compatible with modern hardware without emulation or legacy systems.
Note: I also have the Red Hat Linux 5.0 User Guide listed separately. It was sold independently from the boxed set and is not part of this package.
