This is an couple-weeks-old thread, but just to clarify -- Dell has in the past sold servers with Linux installed through their website. I know this because a year ago I bought several from them for a small business I was doing some work for. I bought them through their website, I chose RHEL as the OS through a customization page, they came with RHEL installed and with the RHEL disks/material accompanying, and there were no problems whatsoever. That said, those customization options no longer seem available on the relevant purchase pages. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
