[geeks] One of the Benefits of Dell Ubuntu offering (IMHO Â ;^)

[Hicheal Morton]

You should ask for a sales commission!

They will get 5 orders this evening from our admin staff.

With 1GB (and upgrades are getting cheaper every day), I expect to use one
for a server at home. (Stick it in the cold basement.)  VNC works well
enough to present the RHEL guion my XP laptop.  Ubuntu and Solaris10x86
should do as well also.
