PowerEdge servers all are certified to work with RHEL Various 'Dimension' desktop systems can be populated with hardware that will be unrecognizable to various Linux systems - that shouldn't come as a surprise though the later kernel releases that are incorporated in Fedora but NOT incorporated in RHEL will recognize more of the hardware. That apparently comes as a surprise to the OP. The upshot is that the OP didn't understand enough about Linux to have reasonable expectations. My thinking is that the OP apparently parlayed his unreasonable expectations into non-action by Red Hat with his accusatory manner...too bad, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
