We have a PowerEdge 2400 and several Optliplexes, all came w/ Linux
pre-installed.
if you decide to re-install, there are a few rpm's that Dell supplies on the
disk, that are not on the cdrom. things like x config files, and sound driver
for their onboard sound. much of the stuff is in /del as I recall. I also
recall not being able to locate these for d/l on their web site, though I
didn't try too hard.
