That is interesting. Our management recently decided to buy Dell
servers. We tested installation of different operating systems on
IBM, HP and Dell servers and the Dell-server was the easiest to install
Linux on. As a Linux system administrator, I tried both Redhat and
Debian (using the bonzai-image) and did not have any installation
problems.
