Subject: [Xen-users] Any other good 64-bit machines

I would like to thank the list for all the tips and recommendations I got when I asked if Dell Poweredge 2950 would run xen 3.0.3 well. We got one and it is running quite well with Fedora Core 6 (64 bit x86_64). I am just wondering if there is a list of rackable 64bit servers that also run Linux x86_64 (does not have to be FC, but preferably free ones) well. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I also would like the cpu supports the intel vt or amd-v technology.

My personal experience says that it's not worth spending the money for a
brand name.  Find a black box vendor who'll build something for you, to
your specs, and you'll save tons.  (We use PCs for Everyone here in the
Boston area; 4 or 5 years now, and no problems with service or support
or anything else.  They've been great, and much easier to deal with than
Dell.)
Find a *competent* black box vendor who won't send ou parts that fell off somebody's truck in Taiwan and have never been tested. I've worked for, and left ASAP, a black box vendor that was doing just that.
