    Servers running as desktop machines?
    « on: September 14, 2009, 11:09:57 AM »
    Hiya;
    I've recently aqquired 2 dell poweredge servers (dual 2.8 zeon 2gb ram ....)  Is there any reason not to use these as desktop units? ( apart from that they're really noisy Bs and should be kept as far away from civilization as possible). I've installed w2000 and ubuntu 9.04 on one and they both work - so far -  apart from  that they seem to hang sometimes,so before I put too much time in installing progs & configuring I thought I'd ask if anyone has relevant experience.

    Thanks,

    Geoff
