RHEL4+ certification for light weight, silent, lower power, low cost business desktops

120 points posted to Desktops, Operating Systems by adimayuresh May 22

Hello,
We usually buy dell desktops for Windows, and have really powerful but also very small, silent desktops like the optiplex 755. However none of these desktops are RHEL certified by Dell.
We really like these desktops fully upgraded for their low noise, and size, however our business needs to use OS's recomended by our software vendors, which is primarily RHEL esp the older 3,4 versions even now. We can run Ubuntu on these dektops but we cannot use multi-arch(x86+x86_64) on ubuntu, and hence our software vendors too dont support ubuntu, so we are forced to use redhat/suse.
It would be great if Dell could get a few light weight desktops like the optiplex series (755SFF) on the RHEL4+ certified list.

Thanks
