Just wondering if there are any ideas out there about where to buy good
"compatible with Linux" hardware.
Possibly building a custom machine. Or how about 3 years warranty on a
name brand server? HP? IBM?
The obvious are HP, IBM or maybe DELL.
I can't say enough of the IBM xSeries. They start at very reasonable
prices, are certified to work with Linux, are very well supported (a
number of IBM redbooks available on tweaking RHEL to work nicely), and
have quite a range of upgrades and build options.
One note with all these server type 1u rack units like
the sun 20z or hp dl360 is that they sound like a cessna
taking off. So only suitable for a machine room.
I work a lot with x306's and an x365, and the same applies to them.
Server room only.
