Just one? what is that? I am pretty sure there is no way to put I5/OS onto a Dell box.

Re: os installation

absolutely not. (there was once a video on how it could be done but it wasn't a "full-fledged" functioning OS). there are too many pieces of the OS that are so tightly integrated to the hardware platform that while it could be possible the effort required to reverse engineer the OS into a VM (or as a standalone OS) on a intel box would take years.
