RedHat is free.  Plesk isn't.  The 30-site version is $199, the 300-site
version is $599.

so add $600 for the Plesk license, and you're at $1,000.  And there's an
annual support contract if you want support.

And it's got limitations, just like Cobalt.  Cobalt you know, Plesk you
don't.

I'm NOT knocking Plesk; It's an excellent package; my ex-partner runs
thousands of sites with it.  Just don't think it's the greatest thing
since sliced bread... do your homework.
