Please excuse me if this way OT, but I wanted to measure the general
satisifaction with Dell systems. Currently I'm looking for only one
desktop system, but it might increase to many in the future, and I am
keen on standardizing on one vendor. Yes, all the systems will run
Linux (Ubuntu series in particular) - if you can throw light on some
of the related issues too, it will be great.
On the face of it, a good strategy but if systems are purchased over a
period of time then don't expect same configuration. The likes of Dell
purchase in huge volumes so the components may vary from batch to batch
in the same model line. Unlike, your local system integrator you do
not have a choice in specific components in the system.
On the server side, they have a good offering and I have found their
sales staff more responsive compared to IBM and HP.
