Recommendations for server hardware (1U and 2U)..

[Bryan O'Neal]

I would like to second my vote for Dell - I have had to work on some
old SuperMicro machines and it was never pleasant. Dell on the other
hand has so many killer tools and so much information and such helpful
linux people that I have never had a complaint.

BTW I can hook you up with my OEM reseller - may get you a better
discount, then again it may not. But always purchase as a business
from Dell not an individual - I hear the individual support kinda
bites and it requires nothing to be a business.
