The original question was whether anybody was running CentOS 6/7 on Dell Latitude or Precision Workstation so I could replace Ubuntu with CentOS. Rather not go for XPS basically a gaming machine not expandable enough same with Inspiron.

Most of the systems there are Precision systems. Can't comment on CentOS specifically. I use Fedora for workstations.

I bet my wife's new Latitude 15 5000 would be problematic, it uses USB C/Thunderport for its docking station which has 2 additional video adapters in it. She's even having some issues with Windows 7 with the docking ports, Win 10 is the officially supported OS, but her $job software is all win7 based.. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz
When you go to the Dell Linux site and choose shop now you are taken to a page featuring Windows 10 machines.

At least one I looked at, the 17.3 inch, had an option for Ubuntu 14.04.

I believe you can contact a sales rep for the XPS system.

I was looking for info on the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) website last night, and they'd totally redone the entire mess, it was all slick and web 3.0-ish, and full of glowing PR material, and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ON THE THOUSANDS OF LOCATIONS BLM MANAGES. could have been a brochure for a vaporware company for all the useful info I found. I don't want to tweet or 'like' crap, I wanted to find out about a specific region they manage, and all the old links to this info were broken. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz
