  "Raleigh, N.C.-based Red Hat, the top seller of the open-source
operating system, will sell students its Red Hat Academic Desktop product
for $25 and sell schools its Red Hat Academic Server product for $50,
including online software updates but no telephone support."

  but further down in the article, it states that:

  "Red Hat Academic Desktop will be based on the RHEL WS product, while
Red Hat Academic Server will be based on RHEL ES, he said."

  if that's the case, how many students are going to be interested
in the more stable but certainly older technology of RHEL on their
desktop?  to which release of RH does RHEL currently correspond?
