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: http://www1.ibmlink.ibm.com/cgi-bin/master?xh=aLwQm*rwwQH1Mz1USenGnN9332&request=salesmanual&parms=H%5f9401&xhi=usa%2emain%7csalesmanual%5e&xfr=N 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) "Shields, Ken" wrote: > > I suspect, although i have no proof, that the cost was out of this world. >Linux redhat can be picked up for $25. > They may have dropped the ball. > Ken
