I think they would be better served, publicity wise, if they would
put 100,000,000 $100 MIT/RH laptops into the hands of the
underpriviledged would-be Google users of the world, over the next
three years, instead of Dell. That would be of direct service towards
mankind, not a corporation. 

I am highly gratified that RedHat chose the higher path. Namaskar,
