[ale] Linux hardware

[Dow Hurst]

One thing I love about this machine, a Precision i360n 
workstation, is that it is completely silent.  It is a P4 at 
2.8GHz, 1Gb RAM, 800MHz FSB, Nvidia Quadro FX1000, 1x120Gb 
and 1x80Gb HD, external Firewire LaCie 2x DVD-R/RW/RAM, 
internal DVD-ROM, and a Floppy drive.  Came with 
Hyperthreading enabled and RH9.0 installed.  Dell has an 
extra partition with sound and video SRPMs that reconfigure 
automagically with kernel updates via Dell boot scripts.  I 
have two 19" monitors that the Nvidia card drives as one 
OpenGL enabled desktop.  Works great for molecular modelling 
using Schrodinger's Maestro/Macromodel package for Linux.

I just checked and if you go thru the Medium to Large 
Business pages the Precision Workstations are offered with 
Redhat Linux.  The small business and home pages don't show 
it as an option.

I just priced thru the Medium to Large Business pages my 
workstation now and it comes to $2998 including the 19" CRT 
monitors and 3 years parts with next day onsite labor.
