It's not that Dell doesn't play nice with Debian, but that Debian use what they regard as a stable kernel - which is usually relatively old and lacking the drivers for Dells bleeding edge hardware. I've installed Debian Woody, Sarge and Etch on various Dell hardware over the years and there are sites out there producing Debian netinst CDs with a kernel having the right Dell drivers supplied. However, given the past history of problems I've seen people writing about on this list, I'd be very suspicious of using Dells with plug-in cards. Dells themselves are fine, but it seems there are IRQ issues with some of their systems...

[asterisk-users] Server Dimensioning
All, I'm planning on getting a Dell PowerEdge 1950. We want to use our Digium TE410P card, calls will come in TDM and go out VoIP, we will require to compress them using G729. What specs do I need to support for 4 E-1's with cdr logging to mysql? We're thinking about getting two servers 4 E-1's each, is it possible to fit both cards in one machine?

Re: [asterisk-users] Server Dimensioning
If I am right I think you will find that you will not have enough power to run 4e1 with g729 codec on little 1950..
