<<Sell service, you say. Well, okay. I'll purchase one service contract because I've purchased ONE pack of Red Hat Linux. In the meantime I have 500 machines that run on that one pack of Red Hat I bought for $75.>> Let me do a SWAG.... As a registered user of one CD, you will get a certain number of support minutes/calls/questions commensurate with your $75 fee. Once you exceed a predefined number of support calls, you will pay extra for more. In a 500 machine environment, you would quickly exceed the threshold for 1 $75 license. If you buy and register 500 copies, your support call threshold will be higher before you begin paying on a per call basis. You want consulting on how to build a mainframe from 10 desktops and a SAN, become a "Platinum" customer, etc, etc. The possibilities are endless. jww
