I have several machine from Dell of various models that I got with
RHEL3. Since I wanted to know how the machine was set up, I always
formatted the discs and reloaded RHEL3. I would download the latest U
from RedHat and load from there.

I have a Poweredge 460, a Poweredge 700, a Poweredge 2850, and a Poweredge 850.

I am happy with the offering from Dell. I don't take advantage of
their support all that much, as my needs are small and I google alot,
but when I called in with a dead drive issue, there was a new one on
my desk the next day.

I bought one of their 600SC servers several years ago on hella discount
and it came with a blank disk.
