I believe one of ours is a ML530 (dual Xeon 2.4 GHz). We've been putting Mandrake on it (currently 9.0; have not had a chance to upgrade yet). Had no problem running/compiling R at all. For a limited budget, IMHO these are hardly a good choice. We got our first dual Opterons with twice the RAM (but IDE instead of SCSI HDD) at around the same price as the Compaq/HP, and that Opteron-based box will run rings around the Compaq.
