Both HP and IBM provide servers with Enterprise Linux (SuSE or RHEL)
installed, fully certified as well as supported directly by HP or IBM.
Hp actually has a number of Linux Expertise Centers worldwide with one
located in Marlborough, Ma where I used to work. The bottom line with
both HP and IBM is that they have agreements directly with SuSE and Red
Hat so you have a single point of contact for support. Additionally, my
experience with Dell at the Boston Linux (one DEL Poweredge) is that it
likes to crap out about once every couple of months (not a Linux
issue).
