Hi,
I'm recently retired from my university job. I am looking for a laptop to run CentOS 6/7. My university was a traditional Dell site so I've used Latitude laptops for years, currently E6500/E6510.
Anybody got any experience of running CentOS on the newer Dell Latitudes E5000 or E7000. These are not certified according to Redhats' Hardware Guide.
Alternatively Precision Workstations would do. These can be supplied with Ubuntu installed so they run Linux.
Thanks,
Tony
Thanks to all who replied to my request above. I'm sorry for the delay in replying but I've been in hospital for the past month, just out on christmas leave.
I finally ordered a Precision 7510 Workstation, as recommended by a couple of people. It arrived with Ubuntu installed ( god I don't like Unity ) Over my christmas break I'll have a go at installing CentOS 7 and let ye know how I get on.
Again thanks to everyone who took the time to reply, and have a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year.
Tony.
