The BL460C been on the market since 2010 at the latest, 3 years ago. There have been at least 3 hardware generations of this blade. However... The NC373i has existed since at the latest 2007, 6 years ago. It uses a Broadcom chipset. It is included in just about every HP server, has been for over half a decade. It is fully supported by Linux going back to 2.6. > Googling, i've read that there's only official support for RHEL family. > Anyway, we prefer using Debian rather than other distro.
