I need a good server vendor(not dell) that i can get a server from that is 1u rack mountable(2u max) with a decent turnaround(i am hoping if i order tomorrow i can get it within two weeks. who would you recommend?
we run CentOS 3 and 4 on acer's altos server platform without any problem. The management tools and resources available for Linux aren't half as comprehensive as dell's though. Turn around has been with one week here in Australia, but i imagine it changes from territory to territory and depends on stock etc.
For dirt cheap commodity rackmount boxes, I use www.8anet.com. For datacenter use, I pay through the nose for HP/Compaq proliant rackmount systems. I've had some somewhat annoying experiences with Dell so I don't buy anything from them, either on the desktop or in the server room.
