I can only give a cursory responce to this one (massive conflicts of
interest and what have you), but if you're going to buy a Poweredge anyway
and then trash what's on it (NT or wever) to install Linux then why not
start with RH and build from there ?? That way you get the Linuxcare support
tokens and what have you.

The way I understood the brochure, they install it free.
What are you using your PowerEdges for, and how much ram did you get with
it?
If you reordered today is their anything you would change?
