  An \hi survey of 10 dE/dS0 galaxies in the nearby Sculptor and Centaurus A
groups was made using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The
observed galaxies have accurate distances derived by Jerjen et al (1998; 2000b)
using the surface brightness fluctuation technique. Their absolute magnitudes
are in the range $-9.5 > M_B > -15.3$. Only two of the ten galaxies were
detected at our detection limit ($\sim 1.0 \times 10^6$ \msol for the Centaurus
group and $\sim 5.3 \times 10^5$ \msol for the Sculptor group), the two dS0
galaxies ESO384-016 in the Centaurus A Group and NGC 59 in the Sculptor Group,
with \hi masses of $6.0 \pm 0.5 \times 10^6$ \msol and $1.4 \pm 0.1 \times
10^7$ \msol respectively. Those two detections were confirmed using the Green
Bank Telescope. These small \hi reservoirs could fuel future generations of low
level star formation and could explain the bluer colors seen at the center of
the detected galaxies. Similarly to what is seen with the Virgo dEs, the two
objects with \hi appear to be on the outskirt of the groups.
