We bought a server about a year ago. Dell then refused to sell us a 'clean' box. They said they would install Windows 95 instead of NT Server and not charge us for it (non-transferable licence of course). Instead we went to Transtec who sold us a server preinstalled with RH6.2. They assured us that they paid no licence fee to Microsoft, as for whether that's true or not is debatable but we did try not to buy a licence for software we cannot use. ===== Original Message from Mike Burger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at 27/02/01 16:00 >The point wasn't that you couldn't get Linux on a laptop from those >vendors...it was that you couldn't order a laptop with no OS on it from >those vendors, and even if you could, you'd probably have to pay for a >license for Windows anyhow. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
