In the end I think Dell realizes that if they decided to be selective to sell machines to people running RHEL alone they'd lose a lot of business from folks wanting to run CentOS, CNL, or what-have-you. The Dell-fascination with RHEL may not be purely from a stability standpoint. There could be some revenue sharing there (I suspect). -- Rahul _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
