Yes Linux can "handle" all the goodies inside. What I question is the price you're paying !!!
We've been running a Compaq Prolient dual cpu for 4-5 month but I find the performance a bit flacky (might be the mileage on the machine *lol* )
Linux has an option in the kernal "SMP" specific for dual processor machines, so have fun but "ouch" the price is high for that box

Hi all,
I've got an opportunity to buy a second hand Compaq Proliant 5500 server. It has dual PIII XEON/500MHz processors, 1.2 Gb RAM, 3x18 Gb HDUs and a SCSI Ultra Wide 2. Yet, it "only" costs about US$1500.00
IMHO that would be a great replacement for my current LTSP server. I wonder however if Linux can currently handle all the goodies which are inside that box. Especially the dual processors and the chipsets on the motherboard.
Opinions anyone ?
