<DIV>I have tried to install Linux Kernel 2.6 on Dell PowerEdge 1750 but failed to do so, and I am thinking about buying Dell PowerEdge 1850. Does any one know if the hardwares are being supported by Linux Kernel 2.6?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks,</DIV> <DIV>Minnie Brian Fahrlander <brian@fahrlander.net> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> On Mon, 2005-01-24 at 18:33 -0800, Minnie Lau wrote: > Hi! > > I am trying to buy a PC (rack mount) to work as a server, and I am > planning to install Linux Kernel 2.6 on it.

There are pros and cons of various brands, and I'm sure that's the next step in this thread, but Linux quit being hardware specific (other than for gadgets and laptops) long ago. Personally, I like Adaptech SCSI cards, others like Promise. Is this meant to be a powerful database (where disk accesses are more important), web server (where memory and net speed is more important), or file server where it's all important? :> That's where this discussion should head, now... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Fahrländer Christian, Conservative, and Technomad Evansville, IN http://www.fahrlander.net ICQ: 5119262 AIM: WheelDweller ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ATTACHMENT part 1.2 application/pgp-signature name=signature.asc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</BLOCKQUOTE>__________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
