Lenovo ThinkStation S20 Workstation

“For those new to Linux, or for the hardcore enthusiast who
needs a morale boost, there’s nothing quite like installing a
powerful, latest-gen distro onto a powerful workstation computer.
The Lenovo ThinkStation S20 runs an Intel Xeon W3503 processor at
2.97GHz, has 4GB of DDR-3 PC3-10600 RAM and an Nvidia Quadro NVS290
256MB video card. It is an amazingly powerful business rig meant
for serious developers, modelers, video production artists and
designers who are not impressed by stylish accoutrements but just
need the most bang for the buck. Yet, the real thrill is when you
install a business-class distro, such as Novel SUSE Enterprise
Desktop 11, which supports 3D accelerated graphics, desktop search
component and comes with pro-level apps such as F-Spot (a photo
management tool), Banshee (for multimedia management), built-in VPN
and even runs the Microsoft Silverlight app out of the box in the
Firefox browser. What it means: the S20 is ready for the big
leagues and, combined with SUSE 11, is a serious performance
machine.”
