The management tools and resources available for Linux aren't half as comprehensive as dell's though. Turn around has been with one week here in Australia, but i imagine it changes from territory to territory and depends on stock etc.

Don't get sticker shock if you price it online.

They get my seal of approval, and have good prices. -te -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid Inc. | http://www.fluid.com

They're willing to work with you to make sure you get what you need (even if it's not on the site), and their support has always been top notch. On-site support is available as an upgrade to the standard 3-yr warranty. Good people. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University

They will even pre-install CentOS for you. -- Bowie
