Remember that lab I was building? I've been beating on my Dell sales rep to get me machines without Microsoft licenses. They don't offer Linux on an Optiplex GX260, but you can hound them for FreeDOS, which they announced last August and never bothered to market. I finally got the quote from my rep. It's for "GX260n" machines, where I presume the "n" suffix implies a lack of Microsoft.

Would you believe there was zero dollars change in the quoted price (WinXP Home vs. FreeDOS)? Do I need to alert the Slashdot weenies?
