If anyone gets the monthly (or is it quarterly?) Dell catalog, you'll also
notice offerings of RH for their WorkStation models, pre-configured &
installed.  I don't remember if there was a price difference, I forgot to look
and no longer have the catalog.

Seeing a major vendor do this (both examples) is pretty interesting. :-)
