Re: [PLUG] Dell Linux boxes |
The Dell nSeries is a great Linux desktop option. Please note that newer revisions of the OptiPlex require a more up-to-date version of Linux, like EL6: RHEL / CentOS / Scientific Linux 6 With EL5 distros, the newer Intel audio will not work, and the newer Intel video will lock the system randomly. Cheers.
