What about the support. Do you get a lot of:

Sorry, not supported and this would void you waranty, but for 200$/hours we will help you!?

I guess for me it become am issue of support more then the original price of the unit.

I will spare you my experience and thought on this issue!

Sure, for the high end ones. But our company is buying a Raq3i today for
about $2700 bucks. It has a 13 gig HD, 128 RAM, and a 300 mhz AMD
processor.

VaLinux low end server is $2865 -- slightly more... and has a 6.4 gig HD
(smaller), 128 megs ram (same), and an Intel Pentium III 500 mhz
processor (faster). So it's comparable, really... 

Not sure if VaLinux has the extensive web-based tools for people without
extensive syadmin knowledge, however...
