JC; Your ability to find something obscure and spin it into something else never ceases to amaze me. The servers don't come with windows? Hello? Did you go to the site? rcommerce.us.dell.com Also, on the topic of price. Again, you have found an example that suits your needs and exploited it. Example: PowerEdge™ 2400 1. Pentium® III Processor N/A High Availability Workgroup Server, 733-1000MHz $6075 2. Pentium® III Processor N/A w/ Backoffice Small Business Server, 733-1000MHz $8173 3. Pentium® III Processor, 733-933 MHz PowerEdge™ 2400 with Red Hat Linux $6397 Hmmm...looks like a ~$300 dollar price difference to me. AND, if you actually look at the configuration of server 1 and server 3, you will note the following: Server 1 - Windows NT 733 PIII processor 256 MB RAM 2 9.1 GB HD's Internal tape backup Server 3 - Linux 733 PIII processor 128 MB RAM 2 9.1 GB HD's No tape backup I'm sure you can play the example game all day and always find an example that beats the previous one... but really, what's the point?
