Maybe nobody has booted those two computers. If you are mail-ordering
them you are going to have a problem. If you can get them at a store
go to the store with a Debian boot floppy and the "tecra" floppy, and see
if either boots. Odds are, they will.

hardware again

1997-11-20 Thread Pablo Ares Gastesi
Hello,
this is a second post about a question I sent some time ago. I
did not get any answer, but may be there is some one new in the list...

I would like to know if some one has installed/booted LINUX in a
Digital Prioris 6000 HX or Dell PowerEdge 4200 machines. I know LINUX
boots in PowerEdge 4100, but do not know if the 4200 is much different
from 4100.

I am planing to buy one of these two machines to become the mail
server of my department. Since I live in India, I cannot test the
machine, and I would not like to find myself with Windows-NT (sorry,
sorry!) in it, not able to put LINUX. And this is a lot of money for
this country. 

Any answer to me or to the list would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, Pablo.
