Agreed with all this, which is why I posted and they DO actively support
Linux system, although their stock choice is Mint. they supported
openSuSE on my pint sized server. They are open to discussions about
many distros and situations.
But specifically I wanted to address the money issue. They might be a
tab expensive, but they truly give so much more than a standard desktop.
If we are measuring by price/gbyte ram or price/kilobyte HD, then they
might be a bit expensive. But then again you can not put a SIMS in most
standard desktop workstations, even if they have snapdragon CPUs
