We have been using about 5 Dell PowerEdge 2600 and 2800 with RedHat Linux 8 and RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 and various versions of Oracle (8, 9i, 10G.) The server configs are like Dual CPU Intel P4 from 1800 MHz to 3 GHz with Raid 5 on 10K RPM Hot Plug Disks and Redundant hot plug power supplies and about 2 GB Ram. A couple of them are about 3 years old now. They have worked very well (24/7) and Dell Service is Fantastic. I would go with Dell if I was in your place for both the 2 cpu and 4 Cpu machines - they are much cheaper and work very well with Linux. Enjoy.
