I had seen the releases about Enterprise Linux ES but the $349 was new to me. This intermediate level may well save me with my small business clients that are screaming about the new policies. I do have some questions though which didn't seem to be answered in what I could find. Are the 2-cpu and 4G limitations mentioned actual limitations on function and/or support or are these just "recommendations"? How does hyper-threading relate to the Ent Linux ES recs/limits? That is, does a dual Xeon system count as 2 or 4 cpu system? Is the Ent Linux ES (or WS) use limited to single CPUs when hyperthreading is supported? This concerns me because I have clients who do a lot of photo manipulation which we are planning to migrate from Windows to Red Hat. The WS version might be great *except* they will very likely install dual CPUs that are hyper-threaded and may well install more than 4G.
