FYI -
Newer version of Redhat or Fedora will load fine on a machine with the PERC/2 controller. Older versions will load to, but you will have to potentially pass boot arguments. You can find more information at http://linux.dell.com.
Remember - Linux is Linux. m'kay?

Since i've been hit with some financial hard times, I'm finding myself having to sell a machine I HONESTLY don't want to get rid of, but i'm running out of options.
Here's the specs
Dell Poweredge 6400 Dual XEON 550Mhz 1GB DDR RAM 8 18GB SCSI Drives (Currently RAID'd to 100GB) CD-ROM Floppy drive Onboard Video, NIC
I can install the two NIC's i took out some time ago for anyone. Currently It will only load Gentoo, FreeBSD or Debian (RedHat and others have a problem with the PERC/2 RAID card inside).
starting offer is $250.. if anyone wants this, lemme know. Also if you have questions, please let me know and I'll do my best to answer them.
