As of a month ago (last time I checked) you can order Dell servers pre-loaded 
with RH Enterprise Linux.  I doubt there is any inherent performance 
difference between RHEL and Fedora.  RHEL is optimized for clustering and 
performance.  You can do this too with Fedora, but you have to configure it 
yourself and add the necessary supporting modules.

If you intend to use the Dell and Linux in a commercial endeavor, I'd suggest 
you go with RHEL just for the support.
