Thanks to all who replied to my request above. I'm sorry for the delay
in replying but I've been in hospital for the past month, just out on
christmas leave.
I finally ordered a Precision 7510 Workstation, as recommended by a
couple of people. It arrived with Ubuntu installed ( god I don't like
Unity ) Over my christmas break I'll have a go at installing CentOS 7
and let ye know how I get on.
Again thanks to everyone who took the time to reply, and have a Happy
Christmas and a Merry New Year.
Tony.
