Re: Debian dream machine?
I got a Dell machine, but I was just getting into
Linux and went Red-Hat for a while. The Red-Hat
hardware support page only gave 4 Dells and 1 IBM.
I would consider http://www.penguincomputing.com
they specialize in Linux-compatible machines.
If you are inclined to hear my tale of woe with Dell,
let me know, it's an earful :)
