I've installed quite a few DELL PowerEdge 2800 with various SuSE/Linux sw. All have been very easy and works very well. I actually prefer(ed) DELL to IBM due to IBM's lack (!!) of Linux support. I never received the correct drivers for RAIDs and so, all IBM Linux seemed to be ancient RedHat7 (!!!) stuff. I gave up and ordered DELL. FYI: nowadays I use SUN Xfire 2100/2200/4200 boxes with SuSE10.2. Works like a charm. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
