You poor guy - we have Office 97 and 2K here (my employer sells Access-based software packages), and we're putting off buying XP until a customer actually NEEDS that version of our software.

I'm sure of it - why would they make proprietary stuff freely downloadable?

My two cents worth (no refund available if contradicted by the Red Hat folks here) is that you can sell the hardware with Red Hat installed - but you'd need to make it very clear to the customers that YOU are the support person for the product, not Red Hat.
