[Tfug] Xeon CPUs

[Steve B]

I'm looking to replace my old CoreDuo machine since there are some software
apps I am not able to run because of features lacking with this CPU (VMWare
and some that run but several features are disabled because the CPU lacks
the VT-x extensions).

I've found several Dell and HP Xeon based machines of CL and eBay that are
within my budget. A quick Google search says Linux should run just fine on
these, most problems were video related (ie nVidia and/or ATI).

Is anyone on the list running Linux on a Xeon machine as a desktop OS, not
as a server? If so any comments or advice?

Steve
