Fortunately or unfortunately, I was able to install openSuSe 11.2 (32 bit) on PowerEdge 2850 and SC 1425.
On either you might need the Dell Server Admin CD ISO downloadable on the Dell website or a few google searches for http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2007-August/032551.html I toggled things around and my openSuSe 11.2 (32 bit) is working well on the PowerEdge 2850 as proxy, firewall et la without any kernel upgrades.
