From a follow-up with Fletch, he's still undecided between cluster and workstation because he thinks there may be a need to comnect external HW to the machines (no details on what exactly yet) so if we have a recommendation one way or the other he'd be interested in that too.

Something to talk about at our next release team meeting. I don't know that we have any direct experience with debathena cluster on these. If the answer is buy one and try it, we can probably arrange that. Given the number of machines Fletcher is talking about, I'd like to prep this for him as well as we can to avoid too manual fixes on machines one he's installed them.

Hey Oliver,
I'm sure you're the wrong person to ask about this but at least point me in the right direction. :-)
We're going to be deploying between another 50-100 Debathena machines at the end of this summer. I'm curious if anyone has done anything with the newish Dell Optiplex 980s Core i5s in installing Debathena with your cluster installer.
