Your not going to find much because when people don't have problems with something they generally don't post about it. Also, there's a couple different hardware configurations for the DL360, that model number is kind of a catchall.
The biggest complaint about these is with the SCSI RAID controller there is lack of software for online management of the array - if a disk dies your pretty much stuck at looking at the lights on the front of the box to tell you that one's dead. HP did write a raid management utility for these for Red Hat linux perhaps if you went to HP and waved a lot of cash for a large purchase of these servers around they might be convinced to release the source code for that driver for it to be ported over.
