So .... what your saying is they actually sell you the computer w/ OS for what it cost's them + whatever there markup is? That seems to be kinda silly. I would sell them both for the same price and just get more money for the RH box. It would apparently make people feel better about what they are buying. No one needs to know what it cost's them. : ) Doesn't it feel nice to get the better deal for a Linux box than a WinSucky box. sim Scott Dier wrote: > * Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> [010430 17:37]: > > Same price for the same hardware, except one is running Windows 2000 and the > > other is running RedHat 7.1. > > Ok, what is oem w2k, and what is rh 7.1 professional with support again? > :) > > I think they could probally get it oem for 99.95 if htey push the issue > at best for w2k. > > how much is rh7.1 with support, 70-80$ from redhat?
