Has anyone had success with a certain machine using Debian for AMD64. We
have a wealth of experience using Dell and HP workstations, but neither
of them offer an AMD64 option. If I cannot get a prebuilt machine from
someone like Dell or HP, what type of motherboard and peripherals
(SCSI/IDE/SATA hard drive, network card, sound card, video card, DVD burner, etc) would you recommend setting up?
Both Sun (w2100z) and IBM (IntelliStation A Pro) sell Opteron workstations. We've got several of both and they've worked out great so far. The hardware is almost identical between the two.
