The cost was well under $7,500 and the box didn't sell well at all. They
even gave away several at BP conferences, but the boxes never really
"caught on fire"... I can't find my old price lists but here is the
complete write up on the boxes:

Because of the "underwhelming" response, the RISC version was never
built....

IBM is in the business of making money. Selling or giving away $25 linux
os
is not the road to riches or anything else. I believe RedHat is one step
away
from being in one of the later chapters(like 11,13,etc)
