I use Debian Woody on a Dell PowerEdge at work. It came with RH which I duly removed. The Server is not running X and so there was no issues at all with the install. At home I'm using Debian Sarge on my Dimension L800r. This came with MS Millennium (Yuk!!!). I installed woody originally with no issues at all. Upgraded to serge for kernel 2.6. Again no issues - in fact there were less issues due to not having to patch the kernel for fb support. The only change I've made to the system was to replace the soundcard. The original worked, but I wanted a card that could handle 'multi-open'. One suggestion I'd make would be to go to the Dell support site and search for the system that your thinking about, there you'll be able to browse the driver downloads - that should give you a rough idea of what is in the system. Hope this helps. -- Paddy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
