Id be interested on the outcome of this as ill be installing debian on one of the DL380G3s in the next few weeks, we currently have red hat 6.2 running on an old DL380, and that's been fine, cant see there being a problem.
Debian has worked smoothly on a Dell Poweredge 350 here as well. -----Original Message----- From: Damien Gardner Jnr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 19 February 2003 4:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] Debian on Brand-Name servers? Howdy Folks, A client is about to do a rollout of linux appservers across their wan, and they're trying to find brand-name servers (aka compaq/dell) which will run debian without a lot of screwing around.. They're running HP DL380G2's at the moment for their Windows machines, but apparently HP aren't being very helpful about whether there is linux support for the hardware in the boxes.. I'm wondering if any of you are running debian (or one of the other non-redhat-fuzzy-warm-feeling-rpm-based distro's) on HP/compaq/dell hardware? And if so, what the install was like? I'm certainly up for dropping a custom-compiled kernel onto the install CD to let us install onto RAID, but the client doesn't want to go to the hassle.. (plus I think i've finally talked him out of needing raid for a box that'll never use the HDD once the app is loaded.. :) Cheers, Damien -- Damien Gardner Jnr VK2TDG. Dip EE.
