They need to have a $39 version though :) Most of us with > UltraSparcs don't need 'official support' :-) I guess you have a choice right now. Either you go for the $0 version (either install from FTP/HTTP or burn your own CD - these two are the only options in UltraPenguin you had), or you go for a $40 version, or $80 version (I don't know how much does it cost exactly but think I've read those two numbers for CD sets without/with installation support). I really don't think it would make any sense to cp -a redhat-6.0 ultrapenguin-1.2 and with the exception of tape install and maybe two or three little other things everything what was in ultrapenguin is in redhat, plus redhat 6.0 is based on glibc-2.1 and many things have changed since rh5.2 ultrapenguin-1.1.9 was forked from.
