I just went to the Dell website and every server I clicked on customize I could get with no OS, Windows, or RHEL. No OS was the cheapest, with RHEL next, then Windows.
If they didn't know I doubt it would be their fault. The same would be true if you left your car unlocked in your driveway and somebody took it and drove it through the park running over countless people. How is that the car owners fault?
