they already bundle RHAT's product Thanks for the info. I didn't know. My next question would be, for how long will they continue including RedHat's bundle? Let's say Linux boxes really become a hot item for DELL. How long will it be before the smart cookies there figure out that they can get Linux for free instead of paying RHAT $X a copy. I'm sure this is over-simplification, but any bright CS graduate could put together a Linux bundle for DELL and be happy to receive stock options in kind. What's the cost of that vs. paying RHAT or any other supplier, for that matter? I think IBM and DELL are including RHAT's Linux bundle for now as a quick test of the market for Linux machines. BTW, I enjoyed the Linux humour. Couldn't agree more :)
