Hi: Be careful with OEM versions. We get one for Office XP and later we need to upgrade the OS ( Win98 to W2K ), we tried resintallation. After OS installation we tried to install OfficeXP OEM without result ( was validated yet ). Tolk with Microsft Spain Support guys and said that OEM versions are for one time use, if we need Office XP we must pay for a new license.

I know it sounds like I am trying to make a case for MS. I am not. Of all the different "flavors" of Linux I have used over the past 7 years or so, Red Hat/Fedora is the best IMO. I just wish that Red Hat did not drop a viable option for a home user/SOHO user.
