Yes, TurboLinux Workstation 6.0 is being offered on a free rebate... I
believe Microcenter also has it on Free rebate right now... a week or two
ago, compusa had it on free rebate, but it wasnt advertised -- an
oversight, I think.. but even at compusa it is priced at 29.95 right now
so with the 20$ rebate, it is 9.95. 

I personally got turbolinux workstation 4.0 on rebate, and redhat 5.2
(macmillian box) also.. keep alert.. this stuff comes along every now and
then.  [my question is, whatever happened to turbolinux 5.0?]

when considering rebates consider the following:

shipping costs if any (if you do it via mailorder -not all mail order
places can have rebates applied to them, so check it out.)
postage to send in your rebate $.33
photocopies that you need (a photocopy of your receipt to send in, and a
photocopy of everything --the form, the upc code, etc. to keep for your
records) $.10-.30
any sales taxes involved

free rebates rock. I have gotten quite a lot (not too much linux stuff
tho) on free or very low rebates.
