I believe I had expressed some problems with Dell in the past, but
it really isn't a quality control issue that I have seen. It is more
of a Linux support issue. Lately I've been running into problems with
getting particular parts of system working under Linux (raid cards,
SATA drives, Ethernet cards) or I can get it working, but it
performs badly ( PERC cards vs say a Mylex card ).
I think it's more of a system design issue ( wrt Linux use ) rather
than a quality issue.
