As a business we have bought quite a few OS free machines from Dell, including one of their new desktop systems (n series or something?). While not pre-installed with Linux, they have been cheaper than those with Windows. I would expect those with Red Hat Enterprise, SuSE or other paid for Linux versions to be fairly similar in price to Windows ones, given the similar costs to Dell (remember they pay quite a lot less than even OEM prices you can find on eBuyer or similar due to their volumes). - -- Stuart Clark mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.Jahingo.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGE1wN+aecWiCY5VYRAipYAJ9QLFHjUTSUoRm/1vPERGQVUjcdnACgoZT+ FCZazVKqNaTRbhAPAtJ+EH4= =52V1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
