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.
