Does CS recommend any vendors?
PSSC provides a range of Linux clusters and workstations to the open market. They are but one hardware supplier that LNS uses, SWT being another popular vendor. PCs For Everyone, a local Cambridge vendor also supports Linux, though unfortunately CS has experienced so many problems with this store that we can’t recommend them to anyone. Upon calling PSSC ask to speak with “Janice” or “Alex” Lessor. If you tell them you want an LNS “White” box they’ll know exactly what you want. At SWT ask for “Martin”. CS hasn’t purchased directly from SWT before, though some folks in NiG (Nuclear Interactions Group) have expressed satisfaction with their service.
