I was just looking at the options available on a Dell PowerEdge T110 which has
a base price of $749 (it's a nice system, I just bought one for my home).
A recent addition to the customisation page (which as far as I recall wasn't
there last week when ordering my system) is a huge range of Red Hat and SUSE
options. It's nice that Linux options are available, but it's a pity that
they don't offer the cheap ones. The T110 makes a nice little
workstation/server so one of the desktop licenses for RHEL might be a more
useful option.
It's rather surprising to see RHEL options going up to well over 20* the base
hardware price and SUSE options going up to over 10* the base hardware price.
