It's a Dell! We bought 10 Dell's at work about a year ago to use as a portable classroom. We have loaded various versions of Redhat and Suse on them with no problems. In fact, we had a tech at work who knows nothing about Linux do the installs. A year ago I went to Beijing with a colleague who brought one of them with him. Over the Pacific, he ran a seismic inversion job on it - had it plugged into the power outlet in the seat. Pretty amazing. The inversion only took about 8 hours, as I recall. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Alan K.
