| If you set the hardware all the same, you will come up with a Redhat

| talk Dell contracts, we can't be sure how much a Windows licence
| really costs.

| In any case, it looks like the problem is the same, MS marketing money.
| A quick trip to the DAAMIT web site confirms there are no Vista
| FireGL drivers available. If you are buying a precision 690, just
