So, I am reading a Dell ad (on InfoWorld for whoever is interested), and
see that Dell sells the 'Powerapp.web.100' in two configurations,
each with either Linux (RH 6.2) or Win2k. (the first one in the ad has
64 MB for the linux, 128 for the win2k - the second one is exactly the
same - hardware-wise).

Guess what, the advertised price, for all readers to see, is lower
for the linux version than for the win2k.
