[K12OSN] Dell PowerEdge 1425sc

[Mark Sarria]

Bill,

How do you like your Dell Poweredge 800. What roll does it play in your 
environment. The reason I am asking this is I have to set up a small network 
for a school, and they like Dell, cause they get special pricing. Just want 
to here what model dell computers Fedora Core 3 K12LTSP distro, has 
successfully installed on.
