what do you mean $400 for the hardware,, m$ is not saying you to buy that PC, its just selling the software so that developing countries can use genuine..

and i think you guys must have read that """FREE """" isnt means that it doesnt cost anything.. Free means that if i buy linux OSS then i can distribute it free...

i read somewhere that it is thought that FREE in linux is meant free of cost... its not that... even LINUX versions..

RHEL costs : from $80-339 ,

and i think an OSS also needs a computer to run.. or you run it VIRTUALLY..
