Greetings. Our group at JPL is contemplating the
purchase of some generic linux-based computers to
start replacing our Suns, which are getting a bit
long in the tooth. Local computer support people
recommend that we get Dell 650N machines. These
typically come with the red hat 9 version of linux,
and either 2 or 4 GB of memory. Do you have any of
these machines at NRAO, or do you know if others
have run AIPS on them? If you are familiar with
them, are there are specific issues with tape drives
that we should be aware of when purchasing hardware?
Thank you for your advice. Cheers,
Dayton Jones
