And, to be fair, the Dell on-line store has plenty of outages too. Anyway, I couldn't check what I wanted to check - my recollection is that while the 4500 runs Linux, it isn't possible to buy a 4500 with Linux pre-installed.

At the least Apple can help them with their store and actually be able to get it done in 30-days... Again, rather then just copying Apple, Sun should talk to Steve Jobs and come up with some ideas.

What's wrong with the Sun on-line store? It's simply too hard to figure out the products you want, especially if you don't know Sun's offering. Contrast that will Dell's site, where it takes just a few clicks to find a server to suit your needs, and configure it exactly how you want. Plus, as I said in the post, you can't buy an x64 server from Sun with Windows 2003/2008 Server pre-installed etc. Mark - can I ask what hardware you’ve bought on-line from Sun?
