Will this DELL T3500 run my linux ? I need 8 monitors.


Hello, please help me if I make the right descision. I now run Centos 6.2 but I would like to run the Gnome 3 so probably will run fedora17 on this machine.

If you have other ideas just let me know. I want a stable system for professional use with a warranty that covers it all. I have no problem ordering my parts from newegg and making my machine myself but I'm not looking forward in all the hassle and figuring things out when it goes wrong.

Thanks for your advise, if any. I have 8 monitors, 1 30 inch in front of my nose, and 7 24 inch screens that surrounds them.

THANKS!!

If you need professional support, I'm afraid you will have to pay for it; but if it's not time critical, you can use forums, IRC, etc.
