[GRASS-user] install GRASS on linux, which is better -DELL Precision 690n or SUN Ultra 40 M2

[jun liang]

Hi, All

     Need to make decision for purchasing a computer to install Linux and
grass on it. I am looking at dell and sun - Ultra 40 M2 and Dell Precision
690n. 

     Maximum users for using grass will be around 15 - for a GIS course. 

     Could you commend on this and suggest some alternatives, if the
following are not the best choices? Thanks.
