[plug] Dell vs HP for Linux desktop

[Ben Jensz]

Hello all,

We're coming up to our desktop computer renewal at work (leased 
computers), and I'm looking at a choice between Dell or HP desktop 
computers to run a Linux desktop on (not touching whitebox PCs again).  
Has anyone used either of these systems with Linux (or even Windows) and 
had any issues or comments about compatibility and even reliability?

I'm going to base the desktop on Fedora with Gnome, using Evolution and 
OpenOffice with NIS for distributed authentication and NFS for home 
directories.  Anyone have any suggestions, comments or gotchas to look 
out for doing this?

TIA :)
